Specialization is for insects

Not a bad list to live by.  Give yourself a point if you can do a thing.  Half a point if you have the theory or a near-neighbour skill (butchering bunnies, say, is half a 'hog' point).  Two points if you're a ninja.

I never really got on with Heinlein, but then I am an egg.

I like to think that in some strange parallel world, some bloke on yetanotherninja forum has just posted about ninjas who cycle being awarded 2 points...

Wow! I've actually done 19 out of 21 (no dead computer programmer me!) and I've still got time in hand to learn to do them. I've even been paid to do 11 of them including planning an invasion (a couple actually...)

Must go and have a sit down...
