A classic question, revisited: what are the five items you must have on a deserted island?

It is a challenge to take this question seriously – it’s so pop psychology meets Facebook meme with a dash of 19th century fascination with all things exotic and deserted thrown in for good measure. I mean you rationalize how your iPod will run based on solar power, but what it you don’t prepare for the mutant dinosaurs who escape from Jurassic Park? Or need fresh water? Or crave chocolate.

No, no, no – this is not the question for me. So I propose an alternative in honor of tonight’s live broadcast of “The Sound of Music”
