Keep to the code. Even the mob has their rules, baby. Don't think so? Maybe you will after checking out this list of 10 commandments that the boys in blue found outside the home of an Italian mafia bigshot in Palermo.

Whether it's about taking "the right money" or treating dames the right way, this 10 covers the full 9. Too bad the list is for a bunch of rotten, no-good crooks, see? I know another set of Commandments that are much better, but that's for another blog.

In the meantime, here are some other words to live by. Thou shalt make a personal budget if ye wants to get ahead with the dough. Thou shalt not have car payments unless ye wants to dine on Alpo as an old-timer. Thou shalt root for the Bears this weekend against the Seahawks.

Okay ... that last one was mine. You get the picture.
