For fun - So if you were a Bond style baddie..

[DanTheGrey]

Where would your secret lair be and why?
What would your doomsday weapon be?
And would you fill the tank that you drop the hero spy into with?

Just thought I'd throw this out here for a bit of fun and to be honest looking for the good 'silly' answers. Though I have the feeling if we start getting blueprint links and 2 pg long treatises we know who to watch out for

What do you mean, "if"?

 

[Holdfast]

If?



Massive Miesian skyscraper with ultra-swanky penthouse suite. Skyscraper superstructure acts as giant capacitor drawing energy from multiple sources around it (wind, electromagnetic, geothermal, as well as tapping into the grid) before focusing it through a concealed laser revealed when the roof retracts. My other skyscrapers around the city also have similar lasers and when the final one's construction is completed, they can all link their lasers together to create a supermassivelaser that can be bounced through an orbital satellite network to focus its terrible destructive power on any point on the planet.

The hero would be dropped down an elevator core running the entire height of the skyscraper. Simple but effective, as the mangled bodies of the executives of Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, Chrysler & GM at the bottom will attest. And you thought the economic crisis did them in... all part of my masterplan...

i'd have a nuclear powered aircraft carrier as my base. mobile, defensible, packed with weapons and fucking massive.

my super-weapon would be nuclear-armed cruise missiles launched from my on-board wing of F/A-18F Super Hornets.

to dispose of any CIA or MI6 agents, I'd just shoot them in the head and chuck em overboard.

My lair would be secreted in the heart of a cruise ship in the Caribbean so that no government could attack me without going through innocent bikini-clad sunbathers.

My Doomsday Weapon wouldn't be very deadly; it would be a genetically engineered virus that thrives in water, which I would release into the ocean conveniently located under my ship, and that oozes a designer drug that is a combination anti-depressant and mild hallucinogen. The virus would spread quickly throughout the world into all bodies of water, including drinking supplies, and soon Humanity would be making love, not war.

When Bond came after me, I would simply demonstrate the effect of the drug on the bikini-clad sunbathers and he would rally to my cause.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Where would your secret lair be and why?

Inside a Super Wal-Mart in West Bumfuk, Idaho (screw those guys in East Bumfuk; they're too uptight to chill in my lair).

- Cheap, expendable labor with minimal benefits (don't want to pay out insurance on dead henchmen). Good chance that a lot of them need new teeth or limbs, so I'll offer them sharpened steel teeth or serrated claws free of charge.

- I can keep lots of knives and guns on the sales floor for easy access without anyone questioning it.

- I can place my command center's secret entrance and escape hatch in low traffic areas (book and hygiene sections) to avoid notice.

- If anyone tells the government that there's an evil organization bent on world domination operating out of there, they'll just shake their heads and say "Yeah, we know, it's a Wal-Mart."

What would your doomsday weapon be?

The Indescribatron. A weapon so vast and complex, that I literally will be unable to describe what it does when I invite 007 to dinner before his execution and lay out my entire plan. Possibly something to do with weather manipulation, or it could give everyone a genetically modified strain of swine syphilis. I don't know.

007:
"Since you're going to kill me tomorrow anyway, why not tell me your plan, Dr. Saytin?"

Me:
"Damned if I know, Mr. Bond. But it will surely bring about global armageddon, or at least painful inflammation in the groin region. Muhahahahahahahaha!"

And would you fill the tank that you drop the hero spy into with?

A school of my own special breed of Miniature Giant Squid. For the sake of irony. Imagine the welts 007 will suffer!
