Default Would you believe it?? There's a Left-handers day!

LOL looking for something entirely different I stumbled upon this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_handed

Looks like there is an "international day of" for left-handers

Me I'm left-footed and mostly ambidextrous, but have more strength in left arm, so I play snooker, ping-pong, tennis and most sports with left hand. I also shoot as left handed with the gun. However, despite being able to write with my left hand, I prefer to write with the right one for obvious easyness.

Any one else is left-handed here?

I'm a left-hander too... funny enough I use knife and fork like a right-hander, and although my mouse is to the left of my keyboard I use the right-hander button setup.

God made one in nine people exceptional. The rest he made right-handed.

Lefties FTW!

Ha! The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, so only left-handed people are in their right minds!

Wait a minute, if that's true, neither one of my hands should work:hmm:

Since they obviously do work, the only logical conclusion is that neither side of your brain works

Now I'm really confused. That's what I was saying to begin with, but for the opposite reason And how do you know I'm using my hands to type?:rotfl:

1) Crap. In my haste to think up a witty retort to what I percieved as another attack on lefties, I din't take the time to really comprehend what you were saying. I need the "FAIL" stamp on my forehead.

2) Must...not....conjure....worst possible....mental...image..... Damnit!
Double Fail.

I am right handed but extremely "left eyed" so I shoot rifles left handed.

Anyone else "opposite eyed?"

I'm ambidextrous and both of my brothers are left handed.
Also I'm left eye dominant, so I have to shoot from the left side, that's annoying because left handed weapons are difficult to find and are pretty expensive here in Greece.
I am used to write with the right hand because when I was 6 I used the left hand and the children at school made fun of me for being left handed so I started using the right hand. In boxing I use both hands but mostly the right.
And in football or kick boxing I use both legs to kick, but the left is stronger.
