ok, this one is easy. I have done this for two children now. Anyone who has done this knows what horrors that can hide inside of …the diaper. This is not a difficult task, so why did Heinlein include it in his “must know how” list? I feel that Heinlein was trying to truly show the range of skills that a human could do, not just “build a wall” but “change a diaper” as well. Changing a diaper takes responsibility, shows nurturing and requires a gentleness that “building a wall” might not. This is but one of the many aspects that go into being a well-rounded human being.

Luckily, I have no images of this task.

I have, since just a boy of 13, been a huge admirer of Robert Heinlein and his stories. I have read almost every one, many a few times. He was a creative mind with a deep appreciation for knowledge and reason, and a very practical man. As such, there are many great quotes that have come from him. One of my favorites is this:

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. Specialization is for insects. - Robert Heinlien

I have always found it held a certain truth in it. And so, I am going to attempt to complete this list one by one, to the best of my ability and resources. I will post these attempts under the category “Project Heinlein” and include images if available, etc. Some will be easy as they have already been done, many I have no basis in at all. Wish me luck and be sure to check in for updates.

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain’t seen nothing yet
They’ve got Pepsi in the Andes
McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite’s been turned into
A golf course for the Japs
The Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There’s a leisure centre now
They’ve got all kinds of sports
They’ve got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It’s a miracle
Another Miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It’s a miracle
We’ve got warehouses of butter
We’ve got oceans of wine
We’ve got famine when we need it
We’ve got designer crime
We’ve got Mercedes
We’ve got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
We’ve got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said Peter I can see
Your house from here
An honest family man
Finally reaped what he had sown
A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It’s a miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It’s a miracle
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber’s awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It’s a miracle

Roger Waters

  personal windmills, very well built innovations too. However, in the article were already seeing grumblings from power companies and laws not allowing them. Sigh….

I apologize, you have to understand, that to Loki, things are black and white, he represents a segment of a spectrum and all that this paradox entails. His path is one of conflict and hate, and however distasteful this seems, it is also neccessary for balance. Without conflict there can be no growth.

You make it sound as thought it’s only a black or white argument. What about intelligent design and other theories that are a mix of the two schools of thought? Anything can be made to look stupid if you remove all other options…

P.S. I finally linked you, are you happy now?!
