Code of Hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi was an elaborate code of law established by Hammurabi before 1750 BC. It is the second earliest known code of law. Second only to the code of bro's before ho's as written by the infallable Brian Piolunek, James Bailey, and Seth Galante. The Code imposed harsh retributive punishment akin to the Bible's "an eye for an eye", and lower classes were punished more severely than higher classes. Also those who messed with bro's, in favor of ho's were punished by water boarding, a technique perfected by Richard Cheney who beyond belief was actually alive at this time. Which would explain the multiple heart attacks. It mandated death for the person who bore false witness in court. The Code of Hammurabi was used for many hundreds of years.
