Those fools at Miskatonic University laughed at me when I moved to Colorado, now they’re green with envy! The Centennial State offers plenty of privacy and a plethora of research subjects. (It’s GREAT! If you need another warm body, or just a part, grab a skier or hiker off the mountain. Once you’re done, toss it back on the mountain side, the authorities will write it off as a sporting accident or an animal attack – if they ever find the cadaver. 🙂 ) Also, there is the Continental Divide. Ah, how I’ve fallen in love with all that water, flowing to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, being drunk by millions ( **MILLIONS** ) of unsuspecting fools. . . _Ahem_ I was just wondering how the rest of you captains of immorality are doing. ---

No matter how well you think your nefarious plans are proceeding, you nebulous ne’er-do-well, just bare in mind that **I** will be watching…I and my crusading compatriots in the Justice League.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium just released their [great white shark](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/17/BAG5NNJJ4J33.DTL), so it looks like I’ll have to do a bit more legwork to get sharks with laser beams on their heads. ☹ There’s a problem with world domination from Colorado- you’re decidedly short of sharks. ---

What I’d really like for world domination is some of [these babies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_crocodile) with laser beams on their heads. But I suspect it would be rather expensive to ship them from Australia or Indonesia. [You can buy the world’s smallest country](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070109/od_nm/island_dc), if you think that would help your plans for world domination get off the ground. ---
