Lefty or Righty (hands...not politics!)

Are you a lefty or righty?

FASCINATING
LEFT-HANDED FACTS

Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right

There is a high tendency in twins for one to be left-handed

Stuttering and dyslexia occur more often in left-handers (particularly if they are forced to change their writing hand as a child, like King of England George VI).

Left-handers adjust more readily to seeing underwater.

Left-handers excel particularly in tennis, baseball, swimming and fencing

Left-handers usually reach puberty 4 to 5 months after right-handers

4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed

1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed - 250% more than the normal level.

that's interesting.

I can see how they would do better in baseball and fencing, due to the the fact that the stance is different (righty pitchers have a hard time pitching to lefty batter).

Well, Merika, absent from your list was the fact for which I was most interested in finding a cause: Why it is that certain activities, usually accomplished with the right hand, feel as if someone else is doing them when a right handed person uses his left hand?

Furthermore; Do left handed people have this same sensation when they use their right hand?

No doubt, Merika, you'll enjoy searching the internet for these answers!!

Or, you could try it yourself and let me know if you agree? :twisted:

I use both hands actually. Some things I'm better at right handed while others I'm better at left handed.
