Road Runner Design Principles
Rule 1
the road runner cannot harm the coyote except by going "beep-beep!"
Rule 2
No outside force can harm the coyote - only his own ineptitude or the failure of the acme products.
Rule 3
The coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic.
(repeat: "a fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." -george santayana)
Rule 4
No dialogue ever, except "beep-beep!"
Rule 5
The road runner must stay on the road - otherwise, logically, he would not be called road runner.
Rule 6
All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters - the southwest american desert.
Rule 7
All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the acme corporation.
Rule 8
Whenever possible, make gravity the coyote's greatest enemy
Rule 9
The coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
