Poll: How Sinister Are You?
After reading a few comments, I was wondering what hand people are dominant with. I'm kinda curious if there is a higher percentage of Left-handed people here than the general population.

Re: Are you Left Handed?
Right handed but my left leg is a lot stronger (I think from playing a lot of sports as a kid... right-handed people tend to jump off their left leg, for example when shooting a layup). My left hand & arm have better endurance than my right. Too much information?

Re: Are you Left Handed?
Will lefties be more likely to open this thread and vote? Could skew the results some.
Anyway, I'm a lefty and voted, but doubt I would open this if I were right handed.

Re: Are you Left Handed?
Do you think it should have a different name to the subject line then? Perhaps "are you left-hand or right-hand dominant?"

Re: Are you Left Handed?
I'm right handed. I voted. I lean more right than left and live near the right coast. Right? My daughter is ambidextrous and though raised in the right part of the country lives near loony lefty land; she tries to remain balanced.clacy wrote: Will lefties be more likely to open this thread and vote?

Re: Are you Left Handed?
Dad is a southpaw. I am nearly equally dextrous clumsy with both hands, but am a bit right-handed.
Like Tenn, I eat with my left hand. At least, I don't change hands after cutting with a knife the way most Americans do.
When I visit my parents, I don't bother to change the left-handed setup on the computer.
Edit: per question below, I definitely write with my right hand. Brush teeth with either hand.

Re: Are you Left Handed?
Perhaps it should be clarified for which hand do you write with or doing a majority with (or what hand you use for brushing your teeth).

TennPaGa, I'll trust your abilities higher than mine. Plus I don't want to step and your toes and I'm lazyTennPaGa wrote: Greg:

Re: Poll: How Sinister Are You?
The only thing I do with my right hand is the computer mouse (and saluting people in a joking manner at work). Everything else is left handed (ooo and shifting too, that's with the right).

Re: Poll: How Sinister Are You?
Seriously people, 4 of you so far do EVERYTHING with your right hand? Do you have a left arm/hand that does absolutely NOTHING?

Re: Poll: How Sinister Are You?
I may have accidentally hit the Report to Moderator link under Mark's post. Please disregard, as it was a slip of the stylus.
And it was my right hand! Oh, the shame!
