Are lefties from a parallel universe??

What did I say? 5 minutes later, what does my mate says, "its evolution, innit"

~Lefty here. There are maybe three or four of us on my moms side. Don't know of any on my dads side. I doubt I'm from a different reality though.

I'm the Evil Righthanded Person. In fact, I'm so right-handed that when I shattered my right wrist (and required surgery, plates, screws, and other amusing things to distract the airport security system) I had the dickens of a time getting around and doing things as a leftie.

However, the site ignores one very important clue: animals also exhibit "handedness" in about a 50-50 ratio. One of my cats is a leftie; the other is right-handed (and dips water and food with his right paw.) Although mirrored universe creatures might not explode when they encounter each other, the molecules of their bodies would be so incompatable they couldn't reproduce and they couldn't eat each other's foods.

This is why levulose (the "left-handed" sugar molecule) tastes great and provides exactly ZERO calories. We can't digest it.

Here's a nice (designed for kids but it's nice, anyway) page by the National Museum of American History's Science Center on lefthanded molecules/mirror molecules.

wow, if you were the only left handed person I've experienced I'd think that all lefties need to cool their jets and calm the hell down. It's a theory, people believe different things than you. Get used to it buddy.

Sad fact about lefties:

Average leftie is more intelligent than average right handed person..

Here's another fact: Average leftie dies before the average right handed person

I thought when I read the header for this thread that they meant political lefties, because I agree that they are from annother parallel universe!

I am Left Handed.

I'm not that weird. I'd assume i'm more weird than the average right hander, though.

I wonder why lefties are so sparse. I only know two other left handers, one is my cousin in Florida, and one is my friend.
