Righty or Lefty?
note: I'm pulling the following post out of my memory, I could be wrong, and am simplifying a lot.
I read a book all about left-handedness last year. There are several different "kinds". Truly left-handed people, those that actually have the hemispheres of the brain switched, are extremely rare, and technically more just mirrored right-handers. Most left-handers just have some "controls" switched.
Some compelling studies show links between left-handedness and the age of the mother at the time of birth - the older the mother, the more likely the child will be left-handed. An extrapolating study then linked left-handedness and mild birth complications (which ties in directly with older mothers!), theorizing that when certain areas of the brain are cut off from oxygen, there will be a change in the flow of impulses between the two hemispheres of the brain and the body, and often the right/left sidedness gets switched. Things like homosexuality and creativity have also been linked in similar ways, as well as earlier deaths.
BLAYM UR MOM.
On a slightly different note, does anyone know their other sided-ness? I'm right-handed, but left-eared, left-eyed, and left-footed.
I'm left-handed. Or, to be more precise, my left hand is the more precise one that I use for writing, drawing, and doing things that require a lot of dexterity (ironically). My right hand is the one I use for strength tasks, like vacuuming, mowing the lawn, and using a screwdriver (though, strangely enough, I can only use a toothbrush with my right hand, for some unknown reason). Also, the left hand moves almost twice as fast as the right, and the two rarely want to cooperate, which is why I can't play the guitar very well and I can't play the piano worth crap.
On the whole, though, if I were to lose a hand, I'd want it to be the right one. If I lost my left hand, then I wouldn't be able to make comics, and where would I be then?

I can roll a dollar bill into a tight, 1/8 inch diameter tube using only the fingers of my left hand. No hard surfaces.
(I'm a compulsive paper roller–I don't know why, nothing to do with drugs–and I did that on a dare once. I got to keep the dollar.)
I kind of want to film myself doing it, apparently it's somewhat impressive.

lack of oxygen = mild brain damage
right-o!
