Let's say that you've somehow taken over the world. Everyone bows to you, and you have a huge ice palace in Antartica (sp?) where you run the Earth's government. You have absolute rule.
What's the first thing you do as Emperor of Earth?

Install a good heating system in my palace and buy lots of warm clothes and thick blankets.

First of all I'd move way north post haste. I'm thinkin' New York City would be fun. Moving into the Empire State Building, I'd rename it "Shawn's House". I'd reinstate polygamy(because I love both of you, baby) and introduce mandatory daily tokes for those aged 16+. I'd spend quality time dropping things from the highest floors of my new home. My new friends would do anything and everything I ask of them lest their family members disapear without a trace. In addition, local air traffic would know full well the dangers of wandering to close to my drunk friends and I armed with shoulder fired stinger missiles, having become dead-eye aims after practicing on cattle at a dairy upstate.

Job #2
Hire Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, Wolfgang Puck and Mario Batalli (sp?) as my palace chefs.
Job #3
Hire workers from cold-temp zones (who might be able to better handle the sub-zero temps) to build a small town around my palace, including the roads, sidewalks, etc... thinking that the palace will not have enough room to house all of the staff my lifestyle will require.
Job #4
Buy a bunch of cool cars, books, great stereo/TV/computer/phone stuff, furniture, kitchen supplies/utensils, heated swimming pool/sauna/jacuzzi, indoor golf course, etc.
Job #5
Find the most attractive single female in the world (well who's also kind, considerate, funny, etc...) and buy her to be my wife.

Oh, I'd keep the palace. I'd bar all windows and doors and put all political prisoners, upstarts, tree huggers, cops, and my third grade teacher there to think about what they done. I hate that bitch.
Remember, I'm in charge here and I'll move wherever I please. Careful what you say or you'll get a little vacation in the "Ice Palace" too. ;)

What's the first thing you do as Emperor of Earth?
1. move my palace somewhere much warmer
2. make everyone in the world smoke weed for week and see if the world just chills out a bit
3. if that doesn't work, hoarde many hundereds of the world's most babelicious babes in my palace, give up on the world and become a very happy hermit

1. get a winter palace in Hawaii,
2. all government business would have to be conducted in Antarctica, and anyone wishing to appeal decisions would have to arrive by ship, and then travel overland by dogsled
3. Stock that Winter Palace with a harem... a really big harem
after all, isn't having ultimate power worthless without lots of sex?

I'd have the beautiful women without giving up on the world. A nice balance of business and pleasure. Though if I were good at my job, business would be pleasureable too.

...I would pass a law saying you're not allowed to own, use or benefit from any technology you don't understand the basics of after the age of 21. Want to buy a microwave? Bone up on your physics. Want some antibiotics? Better hit the biology textbooks buddy boy.
Hello brand new natural selective pressures...
My tongue is only halfway into the cheek region there.

Make everyone wear the same color shirts on certain days. Implement useless regulation and when people break laws. :mp5: :sniper:

Disband all monopoly laws and have the very best corporate leaders as my closest advisors, friends, and allies. Set up marshall law around the globe, and and force everyone to do massive works, if they do not, I simply throw them in the underground prison where you are treated like a slave and are one.

Get the scientists from all around the world to work 24/7 (in shifts of course) to make me a time machine so that finally I can grow up and get old starting from the 30's. Seriously, I want to live through Beatle Mania and watch a country change so much that no one would recognize it.
I would also watch baseball at old parks and see Joe Dimaggio, go back and forth through time just to watch baseball, I could see Grover Cleveland Alexander, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, all the baseball legends.
Mainly for old baseball and Beatlemania.

If I owned the world.....
The first thing I'd do would be to contact the manufacturer and arrainge to exchange it.
This one is obviously defective.
Find a comfy piece of ranchland in the interior of British Columbia; provide free healthcare (including dental work, glasses, safe injection sites, rehab and seniors care), stockpile some resources for myself, a few friends and my harem of exotic beauties; pack away a whole lotta firepower and declare the land lawless (with me still in charge, however). I have too many problems of my own, I dont need to worry about everyone elses. People are pretty good at looking out for themselves if you let them.
