The Left Hand

Did you know?

August 13 is designated International left-handers Day by left-handers International. It was first observed on the 13th of August, in the year 1976. As the name suggests, it is meant to promote awareness of the inconveniences faced by left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world. (Wikipedia)

Traditionally the left hand must not touch the food at all cost.  This is practised in most Arab countries.  Apparently the reasoning behind this is the left hand is reserved for wiping the bottom after one has been to toilet. 😉

There was a study done by a couple of American psychologists that left-handed people have a 9 years shorter life span compared to the right-handed people.  Another psychologist have now debunked this finding as a myth.
