A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, 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. Heinlein, Robert

The fourth item should read "conn a ship," which means to pilot it, not "cone a ship"--just don't want this perpetuated on the 'net, as I love this quote!
