What part of "Do not respect" did you not read? Vector is a nice girl and all. But I don't respect anyone with their head in the clouds pursuing something like she is. The world needs more tradespeople and workers. Not thinkers.

From a place that was recently nearing 22% unemployment in an industrial area, I can tell you that the world does not need more general labor workers. Tradespeople is one thing, but any idiot can do general labor (I've done my fair share.) The world needs the "thinkers" to prevent total stagnation. General laborers can make anything that you tell them to...but if you have no thinkers, what will they make?

You like this thread because everyone wants you to go with them to an island that is extremely far from civilization and do stuff for them?

It's nice to be wanted, even in the worst of circumstances. Especially in the worst of circumstances.

No, that's it. Also, ninjas are fast.

MaximumZero screams, "I MUST HAVE BLOOD!"

Read "The Colour of Magic" or "Going Postal" and you'll find out.

Smallest. Mountain. Ever.

By the way, I've never punched a shark, but I'd imagine it'd be a lot like hitting a telephone pole. Most awesome creature I've ever fought barehanded was a wolf, and I'm lucky to be alive. Turns out that they really don't like it when you put your knee under their jaw, and decide to run away.

Edit: For those of you interested/skeptical, I figured that I'd better elaborate on this one. When I was homeless, I was out scavenging for food one late December night. I came across what appeared to be a coyote or a dog or something over the remains of a deer. It was about 50 yards away when I first saw it. So, I figure, "I can scare off a dog and actually eat something today! Huzzah!" So, I charge it, screaming at the top of my lungs. Before I get there, it has me knocked to the ground, my left eye and forearm bleeding from defensive wounds (I still have scars,) and I realize it's a wolf. I had spooked most of the rest of the pack, but this one had several pups with it.

So, to recap: I'm in the fetal position with a mother wolf attempting to eat my face. It lunged at my jaw/throat area, and I managed to put my hands on top of its head, and push down, into my knee. I held it there for a couple seconds before it struggled free and ran off. I took as much meat from the deer as I could (It was not very big,) and left a tribute for the wolves. I wound up stealing a tube of superglue to add to my first aid kit that I carried in my truck because of that.

2. MaximumZero seems to me like the biggest guy on this forum, which will be bloody useful when we'll need to lop down trees, and chip up stone using nothing but our Karate Hands. But honestly, I think half a week of heavy lifting, and he'd turn into six foot five of pure fucking granite. With a sick Tattoo.

I'm very surprised to be included on anyone's list. The thing is, Tack, that I'm 5'1". I do have experience making stone axes and chopping down trees, though, (Hooray, Native American Ancestry!)

But yeah, my three are Vector, Tack, and Aqizzar.
