Alright, I've come up with 2 more plans to take over the world.... just in case one of them fails. (highly unlikely I'm sure, but you can never have too many backup plans)

Backup: Plan "B"
I will create a new line of contact lenses that claim to make the wearer irresistible to lovers. (this will sucker in 98% of the worlds population, ofcourse excluding the monks) But I am not worried about them thwarting my plans to take over the world... most of them don't believe the world "exists" anyways. Now, 98% of the population will be wearing my evil contacts, which actually magnify their vision. Thus giving me 36 hours to take over the world while their eyes adjust to the changes. When they do adjust, I will give a speech in which I will claim that they only "think they see me as in a position of power, however all is well."

Plan "C"
If I ever get this far, the world is too hard for an ordinary human to take over. Therefore I will have to resort to my alter-ego Crime-fighting super-hero methods. Carefully disguised as a Jr. College student, I will work my ways up the academic ladder until I become President... from there I can launch a new breed of student who I have carefully trained as crime-fighters as well. When the world notices my good deed, they will invest incalculable funds into my "school", which I will skillfully divert into my swiss "take over the world" account. Then I will not only have a handful of skilled super-hero henchmen, but billions of dollars to bring about my plans.
