How not to be a Jackass if you are a SuperVillan bent on World Domination

So there you are - the world is ready, evil plans are in place, no one sees it coming- don't ruin it now by being stupid. Follow these rules and actually be the one that gets to rule the world. You can't possibly do any worse than the guys in charge now.

1. Don't hire dumbasses to be your henchmen.

Too many plans have been foiled because one of your guards has heard a noise and decided to investigate it all by themselves without telling anyone that something suspicious has occurred. Make sure your minions can at least keep their heads on a swivel.

2. If you have only one weakness, keep it on the down-low.

If you know that getting hit in the stomach makes you give up - don't let anyone know. The good guys ALWAYS find out somehow.

3. Don't use bio-weapons.

They don't work and you always end up having some sort of accident. Stick to bullets - those don't mutate.

4. Consider carefully when choosing your Number Two.

If your sidekick is the only one you trust - don't blame him when things go wrong or beat him up when the hero gets away. There is a good chance you might need him later on and it would be better to have him keep some semblance of loyalty.

5. It is way cooler if you DON'T tell everyone the complete details of your plans for world domination.

Real bad-asses don't banter. They have an eye for detail and know where to apply the pressure. Calling up the cops and telling them how your going to destroy Manhattan just makes you look like your mother didn't pay enough attention to you when you were little.
