People who are left handed make up about 5 to 15 percent of the population.

For sure! Here is some lefty facts....



Dr. Holder says there is a higher incidence of left-handers among students "gifted" in the scientific areas. The violin, one of the most commonly-played musical instruments today, was originally designed for lefties. In tennis, coaches have noted that left-handers tend to have better backhands, and at school, left-handed desks have already come into use, helping left-handers to write faster and neater.

Scientists have also discovered that lefties tend to be more creative. This theory is supported by the fact that lefties have a dominant right brain hemisphere, which controls artistic and abstract thought. To prove this, a group of researchers from the Australian National University did an experiment using approximately 100 subjects in April of 2006. They were assessed by their reaction times to white dots moving to the left and right of a fixed cross, as well as on their speed at finding matching letters in both visual fields.

The results were surprising; researchers discovered that the left-handed subjects had quicker responses and were better at using their brains as a whole than the right-handed subjects. In addition, a paper published in an issue of the journal Neuropsychology of that same month revealed that lefties and right-handers had differences in their corpus callosum, a part of the brain made of nerve fibers. The differences in this part allowed faster transfer of information between both halves of the brain, making lefties more efficient when it came to dealing with multiple stimuli.

Many contributors to different areas of human society and education are left-handed too. Famous mathematicians and scientists include Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. In the area of music and art, there are Ludwig van Beethoven, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Wynton Marsalis, Michelangelo, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Babe Ruth, the great baseball legend, and Steve Young, famous quarterback, were both left-handed. Young was actually the first left-handed quarterback to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Last but not least, Charlie Chaplin, the slapstick comedian who starred in many silent movies of the early 1900's, was also left-handed.

Ditto - south paw. Looks like us lefties are over-represented in the KDXrider.net population. I knew this was an elite group. :wink:
