One of the greatest obstacles to becoming a evil world dictator is the temptation to monologue giving the hero time to escape and foil your dastardly plan.
To circumvent this problem I will post my evil plan hear on the net, every one will have the opportunity to read it and I will not have to explain it to any one when i have more important things to do, like take over the world.

1. welcome to the metric system. All of you!

2. Books, books sizes will be standardised I am sick of odd sized and shaped books that do not fit on my shelf.
paperbacks will be 18 cm by 11.cm
hard covers will be 21.cm by 15.cm

all other paper will follow
DIN Reihe A B x H in mm
DIN A0+ 882 x 1247
DIN A0 841 x 1189
DIN A1 594 x 841
DIN A2 420 x 594
DIN A3 297 x 420
DIN A4 210 x 297
DIN A5 148 x 210
DIN A6 105 x 148
DIN A7 74 x 105
DIN A8 52 x 74
DIN A9 37 x 52
DIN A10 26 x 37

Your only two agendas at becoming Evil World Dictator for Life is to standardize all nations to the Metric System and standardize paper sizes?

How is the Revolution suppose to stay in business when all we've got to rage against is the standardization of measurements?

Could not you standardize something else, like having toasters all the same size, and bigger enough for the slices of bread I want to toast?

What about "coffee table books?" Will those also be downsized to fit on a shelf under the new Pim Regime of Standardization, Happiness, and Well Being?
