Do the nonfunctional hydrogen-bomb project, as people will then greatly respect you out of fear and will take you more seriously.
You should know, I wrote an elaborate 10-step how-to guide for taking over a small country as an extra-credit project for senior high-school English class. It was so very well-made (you could actually use the information in it to initiate a decent coup-d'etat) that I never got the paper on which I wrote it back from the teacher. It's a good thing I still have it on-file :>
