Popular Mechanics provides a list of 25 skills every man should know, and I’m proud to say that aside from framing a wall, bleeding brakes, filleting a fish, and changing my own oil, I already know [...]

This may not have occurred to you yet, but Apple is taking over the world. It’s not a joke, they really are.  I know a guy who knows a friend who overheard Steve Jobs talking being king of the world. It’s true.
