Happy Lefthander day...be it a few days late. (Aug 13th)

A friend just texted me to wish me happy lefthander day. So I get on the net and find out they are a little late, but nice thought and a good chance to promote my keggywallahness!

YOU MAY BE MORE LEFT-HANDED THAN YOU THINK
We all, of course, know in which hand we hold a pen, but how far does this bias extend throughout your body? Are you left-eared? Left eyed? Here is a simple test you can apply to yourself.

1. Imagine the centre of your back is itching. Which hand do you scratch it with? L
2. Interlock your fingers. Which thumb is uppermost? L
3. Imagine you are applauding. Start clapping your hands. Which hand is uppermost? R
4. Wink at an imaginary friend straight in front of you. Which eye does the winking? L
5. Put your hands behind your back, one holding the other. Which hand is doing the holding? R
6. Someone in front of you is shouting but you cannot hear the words. Cup your ear to hear better. Which ear do you cup? L
7. Count to three on your fingers, using the forefinger of the other hand. Which forefinger do you use? R
8. Tilt your head over on to one shoulder. Which shoulder does it touch? L
9. Fixate a small distant object with your eyes and point directly at it with your forefinger. Now close one eye. Now change eyes. Which eye was open when the fingertip remained in line with the small object? (When the other eye, the non-dominant one, is open and the dominant eye is closed, the finger will appear to move to one side of the object.) L
10. Fold your arms. Which forearm is uppermost? L

Added question....Which side do you tilt your head to snog? L!! LOL

If you have always considered yourself to be right or left-handed you will probably now have discovered that your body is less than total in its devotion to its favoured side. If you are right-handed the chances are that you were not able to be 'right' 10 times.

7 out of 10. I guess I am pretty keggywallahish


FASCINATINGLEFT-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

1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed - 250% more than the normal level.
Left-handers are generally more intelligent, better looking, imaginative and multi-talented than right handers ( based on discussions among members of the Left-Handers Club! :) I second that!! ;)
