As proof that Popular Mechanics is out of touch with the 21st century and that they are ignoring half the population they have issued the list of "25 Skills Every Man Should Know: Your Ultimate DIY Guide".

Once you get past the idea that women don't need these skills (huh?) the list is kind of fun to go through. It sure has some different stuff from what I learned from my dear old Dad. He can barely use a film camera. He certainly wouldn't know how to retouch a digital photo. However, he can light a fire in almost any weather. I didn't know most of the computer items but I think I've got the others pretty well down pat. How about the rest of you? And Ladies? You shouldn't hold back just because Popular Mechanics left you out.
