How Manly are You?
#1
From re-listening to the podcast I counted that they read 46 of the "100 Things All Men Should Know" list before they gave up with HW feeling beaten. Apparently I'm pretty man-ish because I got 41/46. The ones I missed: taping drywall, stick welder, feeler gauge, IR thermometer, & multimeter. All in all it was a pretty good list even though some were ridiculously commonsense. And I have a frickin awesome iron too- but I only paid $8.99

How did you do and what did you think of the list itself?

I guess being an Eagle Scout, Fireman, Machinest and Father that took Home Ec in highschool to pick up chicks really did matter...

I got 88, but I'm sure I could figure a few of the other things out.

Ok, did the full list 83/100, (my dad's an electrician and I'm a computer/car/outdoors geek tomboy)... Thank you Queenie for posting the link and Howie for your attempt. I completely forgot to when I started this damn thing
