Hammurabi?

Assuming my 6th grade histroy was correct:
Hammurabi wrote the first real set of laws,Hammurabi's Code, which made frequent use of the idea of "an eye for an eye".

Seals are even better, thats why pesky humans that pretend to be seals with their surfing boards have to blame themselves if they get attacked by sharks.

Sorry, I didn't realize that Hammurabi needed a footnote.

From Hammurabi's Code:

196. If a man put out the eye of another man, his eye shall be put out.

197. If he break another man's bone, his bone shall be broken.

200. If a man knock out the teeth of his equal, his teeth shall be knocked out.

Of course, not all men were equal in Babylon. There was a system, members of the court were highest, free-born men next, freed men were lower, and slaves were the lowest. It was pretty cheap to abuse these handy-to-have-around lesser people:

198. If he put out the eye of a freed man, or break the bone of a freed man, he shall pay one gold mina.

199. If he put out the eye of a man's slave, or break the bone of a man's slave, he shall pay one-half of its value.

201. If he knock out the teeth of a freed man, he shall pay one-third of a gold mina.
