Although I haven't seen this list before, I have long regarded the principle underlying rules #4, 6, and 7 as the most fundamental rule governing what not to do if you capture James Bond:

4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

From Austin Powers:

"You gonna shoot him now, dad?"

"No. I'm going to place him in an unnecessarily elaborate trap which he may easily escape from."

"Why don't we just shoot him?"

"Hey, who's the evil genius here, anyway? One more peep out of you, mister, and you're grounded."

98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

Good one....
