Just thought I'd make a little poll from the Things that go bump in the night thread!

Also - if you can tell me where the amphibious quote comes from - I'll give you a cookie!

Not a Simpsons quote!

Think back to early nineties and another clue - a sitcom with Bronson Pinchot.

Left handed, despite the efforts of evil teachers when I was six and seven... But I paint with my right hand and prefer to fly planes with that hand as well.

*sad I missed the cookies*

I'm not as left handed as my ex - he even had the mouse set up for left handed.

I sketch left handed, sew right handed, cut right handed (damn the school system) eat left handed, play tennis lefthanded, and according to a friend, I'm also left eyed, and left footed - although I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion? :lol:

I'm right handed. Trust me, I make a lot of mistakes with my left hand. Mascara is not fun! Nor is plucking my uni-brow...
ok, maybe that was just too much sharing. I'll go crawl into my hole and die now, k?

In the bible it was considered a curse to be left handed. Isreal fought this one battle where they wiped out the opposing army with 10,000 left handed archiers boy what a disc.

No, only the things we write :P

(I write with left, but many other things I can do with both hands)

No, but it makes us sinister, which if I remember right is latin for "of the left". Whereas "droit" is French for both 'right' and 'law'.

In the 1970's I was told (by Acadian teachers from very small towns in rural Canada), that writing with your left hand meant the devil was guiding your mind.

To my mind you're more left than right handed if you use normal 'right handed' scissors with your left hand, even though it's damn painful and the scissors don't work properly.

I do everything right-handed, but am left-footed (I kick with my left). For some strange reason, my left arm tends to be stronger in some instances like arm wrestling.

Arrgh, scissors. Now those are evil. My solution was to grab the scissors (with my left hand) the way it is meant to be grabbed with the right hand (ie, the thumb in the "thumbhole"), then twist my wrist 180 degrees. It looks rediculous, but it works.
