Not yet I don't expect, but hopefully soon.

17%... just a guess.

My wife and I are right handed, as are our parents, and their parents. Somehow, we ended up with two left-handed boys!

BTW, all three presidential candidates in the '92 election were left handed. What are the odds of that?! :Q

Yeah you're a lefty. I can throw balls with my left if I wanted to and also hit lefty... those are just learned actions. I'm a righty from the start.

 

[ifoundthetao]

i read somewhere that its like 1 in 11, so about 9.09...% i'm also a proud left hander.

 

[ssvegeta1010]

I write left, throw left, eat left, etc.
But I use a mouse with my right and can imagine it any other way.

Maybe the mousepad was always on the right when I was like 3, so I adapted....
