That made me laugh. :lol:

I'm not too convinced on this left-right thing. Creativity and logic and all this kind of stuff. I'm lefty and oh so logical.
Also, don't you have different sectors of the brain to process different mental activities? I'd be concerned if I learned some weren't working correctly because they're on the wrong side of my head!

It seems a lot of people in to magic are left handed. I'm right handed you crazy south paws. :lol: (I tease, I tease)

I'm quirky and rather strange with being right handed so I think a left hand would take me over the edge. :D

I'm not saying left-handedness necessarily goes with creativity.

It's just that if there are defects, anomalies, or other oddities in the wiring of the brain, left-handedness also often arises as a by-product. A minor symptom, if you like. (Not that this is the only cause of leftyness.)
