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. ;D

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...) :o
Must go and have a sit down...
