Post-Apocalyptic 21st Century Skills

I can’t figure out how to embed this, but it is well worth clicking on the link.  The Onion does a news analysis of the real skills our children will need for the post-apocalyptic 21st century.  One analyst emphasizes the need for basic skills, like how to collect water from the morning dew in human skulls.

    Fallout 3 is actually a great game. I was surprised at how nicely rendered a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C wasteland could look. Supermutants genetically engineered by the former U.S. government have taken over the capital. Slavers have sawed off the head of Lincoln at the Lincoln Monument, while the Smithsonian is inhabited by feral irradiated humans known as Ghouls. You still have to watch your rear in Dupont Circle as Raiders attack to kill you and loot your body (incidentally the Raiders love wearing leather).
