“Hans Grüber”
Overlord rating: ★★☆☆☆
(2 out of 5 stars)
While being accused of being a petty thief, the Groob’ claims to be exceptional in that he not only planned a detailed 6 Million dollar bond heist, but to cover his tracks he was going to fake his death by blowing up the entire Japanese owned Nakamoto tower. A lesson in power.

Next is his uber cruelty: fear, intimidation and emotional torment are is his specialty. Also clever & creative ways to torture your adversary: “schieß dem Fenster” (“Karl, shoot the window.”) Never say to him “Hans, *booby* I’m your white knight.”

Upfront this evil villain has some major sinister credibility: He’s an ex member of the West German movement called the Volksfrei. Emphasis on “ex” - overlords who are splintered and/or factioned from other splinters or factions (See Patriot Games & The Baader Meinhof Complex) are like concentrated terrorists. Almost.worthy.of.a.WHOLE.star.

Readers of this blog all know that being well dressed is an important benchmark of the overlord, and as a ruthless genius with henchmen, Hansie is is no exception; he’s a well groomed (and gooned) stylista. Did I mention that he is German? Really German. Not in a lederhosen and beer sense, but in a European socialist bureaucratic sense.

While he is indeed the kind of guy who could “talk about industrialization and men’s fashion all day”, his demise is in that he likes to pretend to be a realist and he has bought into the error of his classical education: The notion that he has left nothing to chance. (*Cough* John McClane)

His other weaknesses are poor memory when it comes to classic American films like “High Noon”, getting really mad when plans unravel, guns taped to John McClane’s back, and falling from the 30th floor of a building. All very un-Overlordy. But then there is his brüder…Simon.

The Bond Villain’s Lair: The Abandoned Island featured in Skyfall

Hashima is essentially a laboratory for showing what happens to man-made reinforced concrete left in a savage environment. Every year during typhoon season, rain and winds of up to 100 miles per hour eat away at the remnants of a community while huge ocean waves smash directly into buildings that stand like tombstones. Just as it began, a bare rock without any vegitation or human presence, Hashima has gone back to lifelessness.

What say you is the difference between a “boss” and an “overlord”?

Diabolicalness.

(Like how I asked you a question and then answered it for you? That is because most of you are ninnies.)

Bossing can be a transitionary position for an Overlord. But bossing is about raw power. Like a tractor, or a canon. Any oaf can take brute power. It takes a true strategic genius willing to lose themselves in the humility of the lowliest passive agressive chicanery for the simple sake of mephistophelian pleasure.

An overlord is amused with evil. A boss is satisfied with being a bully.

Four-Year Old Accepted into Mensa

Meet Heidi Hankins - at the age of four, she has an IQ of 159. By the age of two, she could recite full poems and read books meant for children more than three times her age. At three, she was adding and subtracting. Now, at four, she has been accepted into Mensa - with an IQ only one point below Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Heidi sat a Wechsler IQ test, which uses puzzles to measure a child’s intellectual potential. Dr. Hankins said Heidi was drawing princesses and animals aged 14 months – an age when most children can only mark the page. And at 18 months the family found her using the computer to teach herself to read.

While of course a child so young cannot have their IQ completely accurately taken, and it can certainly not be compared to an adult’s IQ - the feat is still quite impressive.

And the world best hope that her heart never turns black…
