I find that the "if I were an evil overlord" file is great as a starting point for someone doing an "if I were root" (the account with full admin priveleges on internet servers like your ISP account). Oh well, you know the absolute power and all that.

#50 is a must...

50. My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.

What bites is that Peter Anspach claims copy write on this list even though many of the items in the list were provided by others. It would a kin to Me claiming all stories on this forum as mine and copy writing them. It is most frustrating.

I recently saw TROY and all I have to say is, I would never have let Hector go out and fight. I would have ordered my Archers to kill Acellies (sp) where he stood. Then I would have taken the body in to the city and buried it face down in the dirt.

Secondly I WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN that horse into my city. I would have burned it where it stood to curse the Greeks on their voyage home.

I really feel that this list should be printed and issued to all the worlds leaders to read.

666. I will abuse any copywrites claimed by stupid people since DMCA is written by Evil Overlord (me).

You would want to gently tell your not so trusted advisor to look up for Achilles in your global database, as it might have been interesting for Troy to hear about his weakness a bit earlier.

Or more generally speaking, when you face someone apparently invincible, wisdom dictates to seek his vulnerability rather than send half your army to its doom. (The other half being used to divert the enemy while you run away, obviously)
