If we're calling this a list of stuff everyone should know, there's an addition I'm still working on:

101. How not to read articles telling me I need to know a bunch of stuff that has little, if any, relevance to my life as a teacher and writer.

But if we're going by the original format of this being a list of stuff guys should know, they left a mess of stuff out, including what really ought to be at the top of the list:

1. How to bring a woman to orgasm

I'm pretty sure that's more important than welding or making a drum-tight bed....

Communicate with her, and find out what she likes.

Well, I was a tomboy who liked to follow my stepdad around the garage & yard... and I've taken a couple CPR/First Aid classes :)

Damn, I can only do 2 of these and bringing a woman to orgasm isnt one of em, I'm pathetic.

Actually I can do most but some are just silly, survive a lightning strike? I've survived a flood but never encountered a tornado, most people havent.

Coolant hydrometer? Survive a sinking car? Not sure about going downhill on a mountainbike, I'll give myself 1/2 a point on that.

I score 5362 1/2, I'm awesome.

And I would just LOVE to meet the people who said they can split wood! You think that shit is easy??

Never said it was easy. It's been years since I had to split any wood but I still know how. I suspect if I had to do it today, my hands would be blistered before I split even a 1/4 of a cord.
