If you had enough duct tape, you could move it, but I doubt it would be possible to "take over" the world. Too many cultures/beliefs for one man and/or organization to handle.Didn't they say that part about the duct tape on the new Mythbusters? I forgot what they said about the world and duct tape and it's been killing me <.<
how the fuck did mythbusters do a test to see if duct tape could move the world!
They never do a test to move the world but they did find out that you could make a Duct Tape Potato Cannon, a Duct Tape Cannon, a small boat made out of duct tape (the sail also) and that if you have enough duct tape, you could suspend a car in mid air.

I think it would take an overwhelming source of power no single nation could do that alone without significant resources and curently no one would risk doing that due to everyone would start tossing nukes left and right possibly destroying the earth.

It took me a few hours to come up with a hypothetical scenario but trashed it because it turned into a freaking book. So I will simply give the step by step instructions on how to turn your democracy into the ultimate dictatorship. This is all hypothetical and by no means meant to be perfect.Step 1 - Get elected as President, or whatever your country calls its leader.
Step 2 - Spend lots of money to "perfect" artificial organs and regenerative medicine.
Step 3 - Provoke some country into invading your country, through Black-OPS, and beat them in order to ensure your re-election.
Step 4 - Finish Step 2 and become re-elected thanks to this and winning the war.
Step 5 - Artificial organs begin to fail,you designed them to do so, spend money on cloning.
Step 6 - After working out the kinks begin cloning organs and hand them out to whoever needs them.
Step 7 - As your last term approaches, secretly begin an organization and proceed to use it to cause Armageddon. Make sure the vast majority of politicians are killed.
Step 8 - After almost destroying the world, your country will decide to let you continue ruling them thanks to your impressive record, that is if you managed to keep anyone from finding out you caused Armageddon.
Step 9 - After rebuilding the country, fake your death. You go down in history as awesome.
Step 10 - Thanks to your advancement in artificial organs, cloning, and regenerative medicines you now have the ability to clone various people while making enough alterations to their appearance. By implanting your will into these clones you should now have permanent control over the government and have the ability to run as both candidates in every election.
Step 11 - As your body ages and dies, implant your mind into a clone of your self. Brain transplants work after all.
Step 12 - Rule your country, and eventually the world, for all eternity.
One more time, this is a hypothetical scenario and by no means meant to be perfect.
One kink: you forgot the brain is an organ, and as an organ it ages, I estimate that by your second transplant you brain will be able to make follow two actions: droll and not droll. Yet again, that scenario is pretty wicked, safe from this fact I think it's very complete.

Hitler came close.Ya but he crash'n'burned. If he managed he troops better and made more sound tactical decesions and deployed rocket technology sooner he migh have hung in there for a lottle bit longer but once the whole world turns to face you on all fronts its only a matter of time beofre troop moral sinks and raw materials run low the population starves and yadda yadda.

It may be possible to take control of the world. Maybe if you somehow take control of the worlds powergrid and threaten to send mankind back to the stone-age.

Up until now every guy, except for Brain and Dr. Evil, who tried to do so (in real life and fiction: call it movies, books, anime, etc.) ended up dead (Hitler, Light, Lelouch, Jesus, Goldfinger amongst many others) enough reason to me for not trying to follow their bright examples.=.= irony end isn't it?
The best way to rule the world is to convince the people that they have the power, and not yourself.
Now we r talking about taking control=no opposition/democracy this post
Dictatorship can very easily be disguised as democracy.
Can give some succesfull example?
No, not yet. Give me some time and I could come up with a hypothetical.
(Just a general example of what it would look like)
Venezuela. Hugo Chavez was elected president democratically but, in reality he's a dictator as he has had the ability to rule by decree at multiple points in time. Once in 2000 and again in 2007. Another aspect that is dictator...ish is the aspect that he has shut down opposition news stations in the past not to mention throwing political opposition members/ supporters in jail.

Even with these actions he's still popular and is essentially a popular, democratically elected dictator.
Now, hypothetically a country can be a democracy/republic and still be a dictatorship. How? A country has a two party system, the parties brass agree to just work together secretly as just have a revolving system where they take turns getting elected. Each "president" is built up to look like a savior and by the time he leaves office he's demonized for some great failure, only to be replaced by the next "savior". This would require the entire political system to be corrupt and the general populous to be a little on the blind side.

Nobody can do that except if they got some ridiculous Godlike power. And even then the dude's most likely rule nothing aside from the terrified peoples. Many tried, a few almost, none succeed. A single human, no matter what can never do such a thing.
Even if someone did, they still fail. Except if they're resolved to lead a barren wasteland of nothing but death.

If one person could do it,Its Akumetsu(If cloning technology has moved along far beyond what people know).
He eradicates evil at its core
He has the people's support,well atleast Japan's support
He has variety of skills
And well one die,a thousand can replace him
He doesnt exactly work alone
I dont think any real person can take control of the world.Just too much mirco management.Mars on the other hand...hmmm
