Good day to one and all!

It has been observed that handedness can be associated with different abilities-make of that what you will.I have heard it said that people from the Andes feel left-handed people have spiritual capacities that right-handers dont and this has made me wonder how the division between right and left-handed people breaks down here at the Nexus.

Right-handedness is the 'norm' in 70-90% of people.

So, I wonder if you people would be so kind as to fill in the poll.

Im a firm believer in broadening ones knowledge- my tit-bit for the day is the existence of the word 'ambisinistrous', a word I had not come across before!

Take it easy and have a peaceful, productive day!
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

I love that the word sinister (threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous, bad, evil, base, or wicked) comes from the latin word sinistra, which means left.

I also have noted the following: I work in a field that has many mathematically inclined people and what one might call 'brainy' people. An overwhelming number of them are lefties. I know a lot of lefties and they are very clever.

Right-handed.

Regular stance on skateboard. I was skateboarding just a few hours ago in a dream.

I'm ambidextrous. Always fun when you have to do a test for that and not only with the hands! Last times was with the eye specialist, he wanted to know which eye was dominant and every time he tried to test that, the eye which was closest to the test object was dominant. The same thing happened when he threw things at me, the hand closest by picked it out of the air in a reflex.

As a side note, my handwriting is VERY bad for both hands, probably because of me typing way too much on a keyboard. And as people in the chat probably already noticed, my writing style is 'clumsy': both my hands seem to have different ideas about which letter comes first, a serious synchronisation problem for me when typing fast.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

I picked ambidextrous. I write, paint, and eat with my left hand, but throw, bat, etc with my right. Never met anyone with similar attributes.

As an aside, My grandmother naturally started to write with her left hand, till she got to catholic school and the nuns taught her to use her right hand.

Also does anyone notice left handed people being more artistic, due to being more right brained. When i was in art school, our teacher asked whoever is left handed to raise their hand, and more than 75% of the class was. It was pretty weird.
The universe is an infinite harmony of vibrating beings in an elaborate range of expansion-contraction ratios, frequency modulations, and so forth.

left handed , for sure .
Had he more quickly realized just who they were,he would have shown them more respect.Had he tried harder to fathom their brilliant minds,he would have taken more of their teachings to heart.Had he more clearly understood the purpose of their being,
he would have more vigorously tried to assist them.They were truly honorable; he was sadly prejudiced.
They were exceedingly well informed; he was grossly ignorant.They were totally indefatigable; he so often, and so quickly,gave up. Still, for many years there was a strong inter-species alliance between the Eleven-Eleven of the Half-way Realm, their Seraphic Associates,and their flesh-and-blood friend, a common mortal. Much was accomplished, many profited, and, there’s only one regret...They could have achieved so much more...

I write, throw/bowl a ball and play snooker left-handed. I kick a ball, use a cricket bat, tennis racket and golf club right-handed.

I've always considered myself left-handed as I'm unable to write right-handed. I thought this was a requirement to be 'classified' ambidextrous - maybe I was wrong.
