"Today is International Left-hander's Day, a day in which left-hander advocacy groups remind you that left-handed scissors, school desks, and computer mice are nonexistent in many places and hard to come by in others. The holiday was first celebrated on this day in 1976, started by Left-hander's International, with the guiding mantra, "Lefties have rights."

 

The group also puts out bulletins with information like this: "Did You Know? Right-handed people operate in the left side of the brain. Left-handed people use their right side. Therefore, only left-handed people are in their right mind."

 

Between 10 and 15 percent of the world's population is left-handed. While we don't really know why a fraction of the world is left-handed, we do know that it is genetic. Scientists have recently discovered what they think is the gene that allows a parent the possibility of procreating a left-handed child."

 

I am right-handed, but my mother and sister were/are lefties.  Mom was discouraged from using her left hand in school but she held out.  Her handwriting was beautiful, and she had an unusual way of curving her hand over the top of the page as she wrote. My handwriting is nothing to rave about, so being a rightie is not so much of an advantage there, I guess.

 

How about you?

Bacon, drawn with left hand.

Thanks Chez, You always manage to crack me up!!!!! I'm aplauding you with both hands.
The model: shark bacon!


*Jeez, you can find anything on Google!*
I almost thought this thread had strayed off course. But then I realized the bacon sharks seem to be swimming right to left, so I guess It's OK.
They are left finned sharks.
There are allot more people out there that are left handed than we know.
When kids are little, they shove a crayon into their right hand.
No wonder some kids have a problem with penmanship.
I am left handed. My Dad was lefthanded.
Leonardo Di Vinci was left handed.
I can use a mouse left or right handed, equally as bad, including spelling.
Just finished painting this picture lefthanded, an abstract of Champion racehorse of the year 'Rachel Alexandra', with her racing colors/silks.
She might be left handed or left hooved as
racehorses always run to the left/counterclockwise.

Looks good to me.
Very cool Beth!!!
