Prompted by office-induced boredom, I've decided to look up the Evil
Overlord Rules and see how Voldy is doing in relation to them.  So far
he's only broken a few, but his actions have been severely limited
until recently, so who knows what he'll do in the future?

The full list is at http://quoll.uwaterloo.ca/mine/overlord.html

Here are the ones I found Voldy breaking; maybe others can spot more.

4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them. 

34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps. 

104. My undercover agents will not have tattoos identifying them as
members of my organization, nor will they be required to wear military
boots or adhere to any other dress codes. 

Mind you, the rules are not completely relieable.  Voldemort
apparently attempted to follow rule 101 -- I will not order my trusted
lieutenant to kill the infant who is destined to overthrow me. I'll do
it myself. -- and look where it got him.
