Are you counting these as 2?

1:

20:4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of 
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, 
or that is in the water under the earth.
20:5

2:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the 
LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
20:6
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my 
commandments.


perhaps on the grounds that even if you don't *engrave* your own, 
you'd still better not worship anyone else's?

Either way, it's pretty obvious that we have to get rid of the Hubble 
telescope as soon as possible. And those submarine cameras like the 
gadgets in "Titanic" are an abomination, surely deserving of several 
generations of iniquity visiting, whether it's the 1st or 2nd 
commandment they breach.
