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

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

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 "

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

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.

I thought left handers were more superior than that.

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 ???
