Left-Handers Facts Pt.3

Are you really left-handed?
Check out your thumbnails. Hold your thumbs up side by side. Look carefully at the nails. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine states that whichever thumbnail is wider and squarer at the base belongs to your dominant hand.

Inspiration from Lefties
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” -Mahatma Gandhi

Did you know that lefties tend to be better typists? The most used letters-A, E, R, S and T-are on the left side of the keyboard, and approximately 57 percent of the work done on a standard keyboard is done with the left hand.

Recent studies show that left-handed children are more likely to test out as highly creative and to have extremely high verbal or math ability.

Q: What lefty actor first received fame for his underwear modeling under the name of Marky Mark?
A: Mark Wahlberg

In baseball, a left-handed batter has a better chance of keeping his eye on the ball because he stands on the first-base side of home plate. That means he doesn’t have to turn his head as far to follow the trajectory of a right-handed pitch.

Inspiration from Lefties“Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves.”
–Germaine Greer

Lefty Lore
The ancient Celts, whose priests and priestesses worshipped nature, viewed the left-hand side as sacred, the source of all life.
