Okay, so that is scary that you can only do 11 things. But those 11 things are sure important!! I am glad to read that you CAN in fact change a diaper. That will be very useful soon. But, does it involve any duct tape? Also, how do you know that you can't escape from a sinking car? Have you had this experience and failed? Just curious.
Kevin, you give me too much credit. I don't think I can do the diaper thing. That is much more complicated than mechanical and survival Techniques. It also requires much more bravery. I think I'd rather unwrap a box of anthrax than unwrap a diaper. Much safer I think.
Taitor, my awesomeness tells me I can escape a sinking car and I don't see how you can change a diaper without duct tape. Phill, 99 out of 100 ain't too bad. I will keep you posted on the terrible diaper thing. Send me some anthrax sometime next April, maybe for my birthday, and I will tell you which is worse.
dude... better get a move on learning 10 and 12 afore ye enter medical school. #s 43-47 don't worry so much about - just delegate them to your nurse.
