I've always considered righties to be a queer sort of folk, but sometimes they can be amusing.

It doesn't matter whether the President is a righty or lefty, all the American people get is a centrist finger.

They really ought to have an option that would let you view/not view cleavage pictures. If someone really doesn't think that cleavage pictures are SFW in their place of business, then let them avoid them while the rest of us enjoy them.

Why would European political orientations be prevalent in a discussion of, or even relevant to, the US Presidential election?

No, apparently you have to (1) NOT read the link and (2) pwn yourself by saying something really dumb that would you wouldn't have said had you glanced at TFA.

FTA:"In the race for the White House, lefties seem to have the upper hand. No matter who wins in November, six of the 12 chief executives since the end of World War II will have been left-handed."

Last time I checked 50% meant that neither side had a upper hand.

Last time I checked 100% means lefties have the upper hand. Read your quoted passage again.

There is a connection between being left-handed, being intelligent and being a leader. The 6 out of 12 is not a coincidence. No, I am not left-handed.

Sort of off topic but, how many lefties here use the mouse with their left hand? I'm a lefty and use my left hand for the mouse, but my girlfriend is a lefty and uses the mouse with her right hand.

Jimsus: how many lefties here use the mouse with their left hand?


That's funny -- I've tried, but I can't do it. It just doesn't work for me. Beyond that, I play guitar right-handed, but that's about it for me. If I pick up a violin, for instance (I know just enough to be very dangerous), it's much more comfortable for me with the bow in my left hand, and when I play the piano (to the extent that I can play that at all) I tend to keep time with my right hand and noodle around in the bass clef with my left.

I use the mouse left-handed as well, though I keep the button scheme the same, so I wind up using the middle finger for left-clicking.
