Meh I wish I could use both hands well. It'd be better for many things both naughty and not.

Just a little fun things to know:

- Left handed people are usually more creative. They've done studies in artistic schools and up to 40% people are left handed there.

- % wise left handed people have played a more important role in history(that means that if you look at all the big names in history the % of them being left handed is bigger then the change you have of being left handed by birth)

Yeah, and they also don't live as long. Pointless statistics are pointless.

That's actually never proven. There are studies that show how left handed people get more diseases like breast cancer for women though. Statistics aren't pointless as we don't have an idea how our brains really works in some cases.

And so what if it's pointless, human beings are pointless as well.

Ambidextrous. My stronger hand is left, more precise with right.

 

My understanding is you need to have equal ability with both hands. Saying you can do some things with both hands isn't ambidexterity. Actual ambidexterity is extremely rare.

Yep, that's true ambidexterity. VERY few people are actually ambidextrous.

For example, I'm a lefty but I do several things right-handed or with either hand at differing skill levels. That doesn't make me ambidextrous, it just means I'm adaptable (ie. a lefty living in a righty world).

It's not that they're more creative, it's that they often naturally have more access to the right side of the brain (since they're left handed, which the right brain controls). The right brain is the visual side of the brain.

Making them more creative then right handed people. 

At least % wise. Cause I'm everything except creative xD

But I remember during one of my classes the % of famous left handed people in history and it was way above average. It makes you wonder why really.

It's pointless because it means so very little. Saying that left handed people have played a slightly statistically higher role in history than there are left handed people means nothing. Heck, the same pattern can be found on Vgchartz (more left handed people than the average), and you don't have to be creative or innovative to sign up for Vgchartz. These statistics mean nothing, and I'm sure that most of the people voting are just going with the most "original" option. Especially since there are suddenly a lot of ambidextrous people.

And humans being are pointless? That is one dumb rebuttal.

I'm Ambidextrous when I'm jacking off. But everything else I'm a right handed.



I am a loyal SONY fan and will always be.

I am also a PS1, PS2, PS3 and a PSP owner.

Wow, a lot of lefty's here (lefty myself).

The ambidextrous seems a little high, though I imagine it's people that want to pretend to be special or someone who's left/right handed and bats right/left handed.

-edit-

And just for the record, being left handed sucks.
