"The Fifteen WACKY Rules of the Pythagorean Brotherhood!!!!"
as printed in the Spring 1997 issue of Philosophy Now
They quoted these rules from Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy
1. To abstain from beans
2. Not to pick up what has fallen
3. Not to touch a white cock
4. Not to break bread
5. Not to step over a crossbar
6. Not to stir the fire with iron
7. Not to eat from a whole loaf
8. Not to pluck a garland
9. Not to sit on a quart measure
10. Not to eat the heart
11. Not to walk on highways
12. Not to let swallows share one's roof
13. When the pot is taken off the fire, not to leave the mark
of it in the ashes, but to stir them together
14. Do not look in a mirror beside a light
15. When you rise from the bedclothes, roll them
together and smooth out the impress of the body
