Sci-Fi Movie Survival Tips...

#21 Never mate with an alien, No matter how hot it is.
#22 If you discover that you can fly, Don't do it in commercial airspace.
#23 If you can see bits of flesh caught in it's teeth, You're standing too
close.
#24 If a giant asteroid is heading for Earth, Duck and cover won't help.
#25 When building a robot don't give it a brain, And if you do don't give
it
a weapon.
