Lol, If you knew me in person, You could tell that I'm an idoit and very immature, Just, whenever I say anything, and i anything! do not take it seriously, Because one day I'll say I have lung cancer, and the next day I'll say I have gang green or something.
And that is my life story...
Yeah, just pretty much ignore that post...
Also I might add, I have a doggy and his name is gorge.
interesting read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-handed
A study[30]published in 1991 claimed that these statistics indicate that left-handed people's lifespans are shorter than those of their right-handed counterparts by as much as 9 years. The authors suggested that this may be the result of left-handed people being more likely to die in accidents as a result of their "affliction", which renders them clumsier and ill-equipped to survive in a right-handed world. Many subsequent studies have shown no evidence that left-handed people have reduced longevity compared to right-handed people
Left-handedness and intelligence
Some studies argue a correlation between left-handedness and creativity/intelligence.
In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[26] Chris McManus of University College London, argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centers of the brain.
McManus also says that the increase in the 20th century of people identifying as left-handed could produce a corresponding intellectual advance and a leap in the number of mathematical, sporting, or artistic geniuses.
In 2006, researchers at Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University in a study found that left-handed men are 15 percent richer than right-handed men for those who attended college, and 26 percent richer if they graduated. The wage difference is still unexplainable and does not appear to apply to women.[27]

Left handed people are more likely to be geniuses or totally insane.
I will let you decide which for yourselves
I voted Left because I write left handed, but using tools I'm pretty much ambitextrous. They dont make left hand chainsaws and left handed guns are rare. Being able to hammer with either hand is an advantage... when one gets tired.. swap hands. It really freaks people out
I was pretty good at ping pong too... swapping the bat from hand to hand confuses people, forehand shots from both sides
