Scpg02. Did your brother-in-law take up paperhanging by any chance?
No comment re-paperhanging.
Left-handedness is an interesting phenomena. Supposedly due to the right hand side of the brain exercising more control than the left?
Prior to 40 years ago, Children who wanted to write with their left hand, were encouraged/forced to use their right hand.
But not today, since some children developed a stutter/or were slower learners.
True lefthanders can be spotted early in life with the following signs.
Drawing with the left hand, kicking a football with the left foot. Throwing, using the left arm .Possibly peering thru a kaleidoscope/telescope/microscope with the dominant eye, might be a pointer?
Its an interesting fact that the ancient Isralites built up a large army, entirely composed of left-handed men, who seemed to excel in warfare.
The Book of Judges contains the record of 700 men in the Tribe of Benjamin, all left-handed.
Judges 20:16...states that "everyone could sling stones highly accurately, and not miss" The left-handed marksmen in the Tribe of Benjamin rarely if ever fell short of their target.
I think its probable, even today, that a "lefty wrestler or boxer, could have a slight advantage? Since the average right handed sportsman only gets to train against similar right handed persons.
So I suppose when coming up against a left-hander for the first time, they might well feel disadvantaged?
My only claim to being lefthanded is my writing, kicking and throwing.
In everything else, I seem "normal"? (No jokes please)
I have noticed that if I ever went to the cinema with a girl, I prefered her to sit on my right side!
Anyone else have that perculiarity?
