Who's left-handed?

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

I've missed left-handers day by about a week, despite trying to make it a note in my calendar. Maybe I put it on the right by mistake.

Currently the best-known leftie might be Barack Obama.

So who's a left-handed IISer? (I hope this doesn't get merged with jjj's poll on Stupid Questions :lol:)

Cheers

[Kevnool]

To keep it astronomical then i focus with both hands.

Cheers Kev.

I voted mostly RHed... I'm right handed for all single handed tasks, but I'm left handed for double handed tasks (like axe, bat, etc).

Al.

[AdrianF]

Right handed but I can write with my left, mirror imaged. I write backwards with my left hand.

Adrian

[RB]

Only when I broke my right arm.

:P

[multiweb]

I eat with my right hand while I can slap with my left. School canteen training from a young age. :P

[GeoffW1]

:rofl:I have ofttimes thought on that predicament, and practised to meet it when enthroned :lol:

Results were.......need more practice. :D

[astroron]

I am mostly ambidextrous, use both hand nearly equaly,I broke my wrists so many times as a kid that I got to learn to use both equally.
the only thing I cannot do is write with my left,but then I am not much good with the right either :rolleyes: hahaha

[Octane]

Left-handed people are the minions of Satan. :P

[GeoffW1]

What's your star sign then? :rofl:

[jenchris]

I use a knife in my right and a spoon in my left.
Shoot both, rifle and handgun (and even together!)
Bat right
Kick left
Golf Right
Bullwhip left
Hammer, Welder, left.

[Rick Petrie]

I think you must be 'multidextrous' with all those.:P

[Baddad]

Hi All,
:)

RH, With all priority tasks. But, my left arm strength is greater and I punch harder with my left.

I used to prefer to jump (athletics) with my right leg but my coach pointed out I achieved better results with my left leg. It was an effort to re-learn jumping off my left foot. :question:

Cheers

[Ric]

I'm a total left hander for everything :thumbsup:




H, we are the next stage in the evolution of the species. :D

[cybereye]

I'm left-handed and left-footed. I wear my watch on my right hand. I love it when people use my computer and go looking for the mouse. My wife says that when I dance I have two left feet and you know what, I'm proud of it!! It's common knowledge too that we lefties are the only ones in our right mind... :D

Cheers,
Mario

PS MY eldest son is also left-handed so lefties account for 50% of our household! :thumbsup:

[Analog6]

While I don't right left handed I use the computer mouse left handed, use scissors and knives left handed and I am definitely left footed. So I ticked ambidextrous.

[multiweb]

Reading all those post a clear pattern is emerging and it is becoming clear to me that astro people are well versed in the use of knives, firearms, projectile handling, etc... maybe you can drop by my place and take care of my pigeon population control for me? :question: ;)

[jenchris]

Slingshot left handed - :rolleyes:

[TheDecepticon]

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[AdrianF]

I do research in my classes out here at roma I always have one leftie in every class. One class shot me down in flames though. I went throughout the info with the class about always having at least one leftie this class had 9 out of 14

Adrian

[DavidU]

Right handed, left footed but can write with both if I have too.

[multiweb]

With your feet? :P
Now what we really want to know... can you swap your guitar around and play VH eruption? ;)

[Poita]

Right handed, but left eye dominant, makes archery annoyingly difficult.

[FlashDrive]

Count me in .... I'm lefty also.

In my left hand: .... Computer Mouse.
Fork to eat .... Biro/pencil to write .... throw a ball....left eye to look through a Scope....to hold a rifle ... throw a discus...!!!.....anything that needs to be used ... my left hand reaches for it.
I even pick up a " right handed " guitar ... and play it in my left hand .... without changing the strings around..... real easy to play to. ( Jimi Hendrix did the same thing )

We left " handers " are always in our " RIGHT MIND " ;)

Flash :D

[Hagar]

Only when I use my left hand otherwise I'm right handed.

[luvmybourbon]

i eat left handed.......i forgot how to use a knife when i was about 10 and my sister retaught me and she was left handed :lol:. My master eye is my left but i shot with my right, trust me it took a bit to work out that problem!

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

Well, it's running much closer to the 50-50 mark than I expected,

Wikipedia (aha !) suggest that the RH should dominate by 70-90%.

Cheers

[PCH]

Wow, - that'd be neat. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous

[cybereye]

Some facts from the Left-Handers Club...

Left-handers are wired into the artistic right hemisphere of the brain which makes them imaginative, creative, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful and original but NEVER DULL

Of 12 astronauts who have walked on the moon, 4 were left-handers (including the second ever, Buzz Aldrin). That is 1 in 3 rather than the 1 in 10 you would normally expect

Left-handers are twice as likely to qualify for MENSA, the high IQ society

A full THIRD of all US presidents since 1945 have been left-handed

Your sense of humour is in the right side of the brain (left-hand dominant). It is no accident that so many of the great comics have been left-handed

Left-handers have better 3-dimensional awareness and precision, this explains why there are so many great left-handed tennis players and why there are a lot of left-handed architects.

[FlashDrive]

I'm gonna get my wife to read this ;) She will be impressed with me now :D

:rofl: Flash.

[sjastro]

I thought left handers were more superior than that.;)

[SkyViking]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[cybereye]

Steven,

Remember, we're also very modest.... :D

Cheers,
Mario

[bones]

I'm left handed in most aspects.

But when you stop to think about it, if the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body & vice versa, doesn't this mean that left handed people are the only ones in their right state of mind ??? :screwy:
:P :P :P

[UniPol]

Righty tighty, lefty lucy (loosey).

[FlashDrive]

In my Airforce day's it was ...LEFT,LEFT,LEFT,RIGHT,LEFT .... SWING THOSE ARMS YOU LOT .... LEFT,LEFT ..blah..blah...blah.

Lead by your LEFT .... yes SIR.

Flash .. :lol:
