How would you take over the world?
I know this is a ridiculous question, but I am being completely serious here. This is an exercise in prowess: if you were to make it your ultimate goal, how would your plans for world domination (good or evil alike) come to fruition?
Please no erroneous posts!!

This word "erroneous". I do not think it means what you think it means. Besides, this is Tilted Nonsense! EVERY post is erroneous!
I would take over the world by designing a Resignation Ray. I'd zap the public with it, and then no matter what dastardly deed I did, they'd shrug their shoulders and go, "Enh." |

Jwoody's cat looks fierce...
I'm really too tired to take over the world... though it would be fun to just annihilate those that are deserving of annihilation.. and finally i could have some peace...

I'd create a race of supersoldiers using the DNA of Elvis, Andre the Giant and Madonna.

The real trick is to be able to manage the world once you've taken it over. I've always wondered why evil maniacs don't just take over small, lush tropical islands, and stay there.
Anyways, my plan includes a dress code. It will be jeans with blank T-shirts. I figure I've already got the entire Western world in step, so the rest should be easy.

I would first run for school board. Then build a coalition of supporters to gather steam for state office. One my network is in place, I'll be ready for a run at the senate. I'll give speeches that start with humurous self-deprecation and end with strong statements only weirdos wouldn't believe in. Such as, "well, my girth may tell you that I buy one too many pudding cups, but unlike my opponent I'm not going to let those folks down in Warshington tell you what you can and cannot buy at the grocery store!"
I'll be a good pick for VP in 2020. After the unfortunate demise of the president , I will then strenghten our relationship with a ecnomically depressed country full of nationalistic crazies. I don't think Germany will fall for that again, so I'll target Bosnia. Once I get them stirred up into a frenzy, they'll do all the crap work - deposing their leader, the killing, the mass burials etc. Then I'll quietly pass on in my bunker with a nose full of coke and my hand down a hooker's pants.

I would gain control of toilet paper companies and chocolate companies and bullet manufacturers and blackmail my way into power by threatening to cut off the supply, or worse, make a sub-par product.
Or better yet, take a couple hits from a bong and re-examine exactly WHY anyone would want to rule the whole world. Then eat some cheese and take a nap.
