       Perhaps he could team up with a bespectacled scientist who, after almost two decades of work, has hit upon a means of extending the human penis by a significant factor.

       And lose weight naturally at the same time. The villain could be the head of a shadowy organization known only as “T.H.E.Y.”. His introductory scene concludes with him slamming his fist on the table and announcing “We DON'T want the public to know about this secret!”

       I've just received a confirmed order for 400 million short tons of clean ice from an Inuit community council.

       Selling sand to the ME is something Australia is already doing [link]. I had also heard of other companies selling swimming pool filter sand there as well.
