And in the interest of whetting your appetite for the How-To Guide (tentatively scheduled for release on Take Your Daughter To Work Day Weekend of 2009, assuming the internet hasn't crumbled under repeated crackings in half due to Ronin being revealed to be Aunt May or whatever), I'd like to present that rule to you right now:
