Hewo!  :)

I'm right handed, but I do a lot of things left-handed, like batting, hockey, and I usually drive to my left in basketball.  I also feel that I have a very creative mind and I love my imagination :)  So I guess in that sense I'm right-brained.

I think I'm right handed because they beat the left-handedness out of me when I was a kid ;D  Left-handed people were considered taboo or something back in those days :-/  Which might explain why the Latin sinister means left-handed, and the word now means what it means.

Hewo to you too!
I wonder who decided writing with the left hand was wrong? Obviously a right handed writer...

I am right-handed (and right-footed  ;)) but I do try to do things with my left hand-type, etc. I have tried to write with my left hand. I thought my handwritting with my right hand was bad but no one could read what I wrote with my left.  ;)

Im sorta leftie...and rightie

but you know, Boris, back in biblical times, the left handed people were known to be worshipers of Satan...thats why traditionally, the groom stands on the right side of the bride because he could easily defend her by his sword being on his left side.  If he was left handed, he would be somewhere else being treated unfairly because he was suposed to be the devil...

thank you oh wise one

Luke: "I know something you do not know."
Darth Vader: "What is that?"
Luke: "I am not left handed!"
Darth Vader cuts Luke's right hand off with his light saber.
Darth Vader: "Now you are."

PS I play guitar right-handed (i.e. left hand on the fretboard)... it's never felt right the other way round, but it might explain why I'm lousy at playing lead...

Glad you explained the Star Wars bit Phil, I was totally lost with what Rice was talking about...just didn't want to admit it

You mean you use your right hand for that too?

Not exactly... Rice's original quote is from The Princess Bride - IMO one of the best duelling scenes since Errol Flynn stopped making movies: the Star Wars "quote" was itself a parody on the original.

Funny (well, vaguely droll) story: back when The Princess Bride was released, I had long, thick hair and a moustache just like Inigo... a couple of friends came round and said "Phil, we've just seen this film with you in it..." so when I went round to their place to watch the video, my immediate comment was "Ah... but he's not left-handed".  So when the duel scene started with both fencing left-handed...

OK, so it was funny at the time ;-)

I am right handed, but here's an interesting fact:-

I once watched a documentary about being left-handed, and a scientist on it held the theory that all left-handed people were originally one of twins.
Apparently many twins are so-called "Mirror twins", where one of them is left handed / footed and the other is the complete opposite, being right-handed etc.
The scientist believed that often one of these twins would die in the very early stages of pregnancy when it was too early to be detected, and any left-handed babies are merely survivors of this.
End Quote

Er... he's wrong: twins are approximately 1 in 200 births (and the vast majority of identical twins are same-handed... "mirror" twins are scarce, even amongst twins), whereas left-handedness is approximately 1 in 8...  if you do the maths, although the occasional left-hander may be in that category, there ain't no way it can account for all of us.
