Meme: I can do that!
Meme ganked from
genarti.
change a diaper: Yup.
plan an invasion: Er, probably, given sufficient data about the target. Not sure I'd win, though.
butcher a hog: Nope. Though I do know at least the theory for butchering according to Jewish law, and I can cut the critter up once it's dead and skinned. (Assuming it's not a hog, a'cos we don't eat them.)
I do know how to soak and salt the meat to draw the blood out, and I'm betting none of Heinlein's characters know that. So hah.
conn a ship: Nope. Would love to learn how, though.
design a building: Not a clue.
write a sonnet: Yes.
balance accounts: In theory.
build a wall: Again, in theory. Given bricks and mortar. Or a supply of logs.
set a bone: I'd need a refresher, but I did learn how to do this. I do remember how to splint a broken leg or arm.
comfort the dying: Yes.
take orders: ...yes. *grumble*
give orders: Yes.
cooperate: Yes.
act alone: Yes.
solve equations: Er, again, I'd need a refresher but yes.
analyze a new problem: Yup.
pitch manure: Does scooping cat litter count?
program a computer: er ... no.
cook a tasty meal: Boy, can I ever!
fight efficiently: In theory.
die gallantly: Don't know. Never tried.

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.
