Austin Powers and World Domination
The other night while flipping through the channels I stumbled into the middle of an Austin Powers movie. Not entertainment that I would recommend, but interesting nonetheless. I was particularly intriqued by a scene involving the bad guy, Dr. Evil, and his right hand man. In the scene, Evil's man turned against him! He made a statement which, in my fuzzy memory of the scene said something to the effect of, "Evil, you could have had gobs of money and a great company, but all you could focus on was world domination". Like, what an idiot, right? Today, J. was telling me about a world domination game that he is playing on-line with the guys at work. He was talking about alliances, and he explained to me how he was manipulating the others into serving his purposes, I know the drill, I've played these type of games before. You ally with others in order to fight off the greater threats and then finish off your allies to win the game. What's scary is the sobering thought...
