EUREKA'S RULES

By Aesop

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show, Eureka, or any of the characters, and no profit is earned in writing this.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I noted that no one at had yet put up a story like this for Eureka and wanted to be the first. Thanks to Storyseeker for proofreading this story.

I gotta be nuts, Jack thought as yet another 50 lb. pinecone dented the hood of his car. Really, 7 %? I gotta be nuts! He kept driving, determining to make a new addition to the list when he got back.

51. Never tell me the odds.

OOOOOOOOOO

Andy's decision to quit was entirely logical, Fargo reflected. There was no need for Mansfield to take that tone or to say what he had in that tone. It was the DOD's own fault for giving the robot the ability to make its own decisions, based on the evidence. They had only themselves to blame.

Fargo took out his pen, as he approached the door of the Sheriff's office. That scrap pile crack really had been uncalled for.

52. Remember, AIs have feelings too. Sort of. I think.

OOOOOOOOOO

Carter frowned in confusion at the latest entry. Clearly something interesting had happened during Jo's stint as acting sheriff. "This should be interesting," he muttered, pushing his way inside.

53. Redefining identity theft is NOT a scientific achievement.

OOOOOOOOOO

The 'Dreckman' was setting up in his new lab. His ex-wife was working with him, asked by Allison to keep her ex-husband in check.

Carter silently wished her luck and returned to his office. On the way, he got a chance to assess exactly how much damage had been done by the P-brane. It looked like a tornado had passed through town, and then backed up. He'd been reviewing possible entries to make on the list to cover similar situations, but found that someone had beaten him to it.

54. Who ya gonna call? Not Drechmeyer.

Drechmeyer had quickly fired back.

55. Scientific achievements are often misunderstood early on. People laughed at Einstein.

55a. No they didn't.

Not again, Carter sighed. He ended the ensuing debate with an entry of his own.

55b. Knock it off. If you want to mock another scientist; do it in the scientific journals like grownups.
