[spoiler]INSIGHT FROM M1Silencer: [quote][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Law_of_the_Jungle[/url] Some highlights [quote]"The Law of the Jungle" is an expression that means "every man for himself," "anything goes," "might makes right," "survival of the strongest," "survival of the fittest," "kill or be killed," "dog eat dog" and "eat or be eaten," "kill only to eat, not from anger or sport".[/quote] [quote]also known as jungle law or frontier justice[/quote] [quote]In the novel The Jungle Book,[2] Rudyard Kipling uses the term to describe an actual set of legal codes used by wolves and other animals in the jungles of India. In Chapter Two of The Second Jungle Book,[3] Rudyard Kipling provides a poem, featuring the Law of the Jungle as known to the Wolves, and as taught to their cubs.[/quote] [/quote] INSIGHT FROM External: [quote]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/T2JB316_-_The_Outsong_title_illustration.JPG The provenance of the term has already been pointed out by M1Silencer; but, just to clarify, the twitter photo doesn't just reference the book, the image is a photo of the 2nd chapter title page of some edition of The Second Jungle Book. The title and the words "immense variety" match up exactly. Not sure which edition that photo is from, however;[url=http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37364] the version I found from Project Gutenberg[/url] has a few images of illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling, Rudy's dad. None of those images seem to exactly match up with the ink at the bottom of the printing visible in the photo. The image of the illustration above would have been in the same location of whichever edition they're using in the twitter pic, however. It may be an actual edition, or the page may be from a prop they had made specifically for the spot. That is, if the twitter pic is indeed a still from that spot. Here's the full text from the chapter: [spoiler][quote]THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE Just to give you an idea of the immense variety of the Jungle Law, I have translated into verse (Baloo always recited them in a sort of sing-song) a few of the laws that apply to the wolves. There are, of course, hundreds and hundreds more, but these will do for specimens of the simpler rulings. Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back— For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep. The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the Wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thine own. Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle—the Tiger, the Panther, the Bear; And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair. When Pack meets with Pack in the Jungle, and neither will go from the trail, Lie down till the leaders have spoken—it may be fair words shall prevail. When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar, Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war. The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home, Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come. The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain, The Council shall send him a message, and so he shall change it again. If ye kill before midnight, be silent, and wake not the woods with your bay, Lest ye frighten the deer from the crops, and the brothers go empty away. Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can; But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man. If ye plunder his Kill from a weaker, devour not all in thy pride; Pack-Right is the right of the meanest; so leave him the head and the hide. The Kill of the Pack is the meat of the Pack. Ye must eat where it lies; And no one may carry away of that meat to his lair, or he dies. The Kill of the Wolf is the meat of the Wolf. He may do what he will, But, till he has given permission, the Pack may not eat of that Kill. Cub-Right is the right of the Yearling. From all of his Pack he may claim Full-gorge when the killer has eaten; and none may refuse him the same. Lair-Right is the right of the Mother. From all of her year she may claim One haunch of each kill for her litter, and none may deny her the same. Cave-Right is the right of the Father—to hunt by himself for his own: He is freed of all calls to the Pack; he is judged by the Council alone. Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe and his paw, In all that the Law leaveth open, the word of the Head Wolf is Law. Now these are the Laws of the Jungle, and many and mighty are they; But the head and the hoof of the Law and the haunch and the hump is—Obey![/quote] -Rudyard Kipling. The Second Jungle Book (Kindle Locations 330-346).[/spoiler][/quote]
