"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an
invasion, butcher an animal, conn a ship, design a building,
write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone,
comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act
alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die
gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

- Lazarus Long

Thoughts ??

I think I can do most of them as I've done them before. Never tried setting a bone, can't really write music, and seeing as I typed this I havn't had to die gallantly. Laughing

ok i got a question WTF is conn a ship?? that and die is all i gotta do now.. gee what a thing to look forward to.. tree houses count for building right?
setting bones is easy, but not if they are your own, exception fingers and or toes... speaking of comforting the dying, last night the wife come home and told me one of her "pacients" passed away, while the wife was holding her... so yeah been there done that on both sides..
