I was left-handed until I went to school, at 5 years old. They made me write right-handed.
I could also read and write perfectly well (well, as well as five-year-olds' fingers allow), but they made me "unlearn" it all, because the ITA alphabet[^] was in vogue, at the time.
Essentially, one month of infant school set me back two or three years. At age 5.

Our drill sarge made all of us throw hand grenades with the right hand, because Heckler, Koch, him and the regulations said so. And yes, one of the left handed guys promptly threw away the safety pin and dropped the grenade. Fortunately it was only a training grenade. And another one managed to throw the training grenade against someone's helmet and then it bounced back right at his feet.
And I will not talk about what happened when we were supposed to throw a grenade into a room and then storm in to finish the job...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So you are still alive today because of the kind of moron teacher who f**ked me up taught me at age 5!
That's a silver lining, if ever there were one.

Dear God! What form of twisted sadists did you have running your schools?
Why on Earth would they teach you that? How did they expect you to communicate with the rest of the world?

You know how children can think they're doing something wonderful, but get smacked in the face?
That's what happened the first time I took a whatever (mothers' day/something else; I don't remember) card home to my mother.
She quite literally could not read it, because it was in that moronic very cleverly designed "language".
Imagine how much that hurt/confused a five-year old.
Teachers.
Them as can...

When did you start school? I was in Kindergarten in 1974 and thank faarrrkkkk we didn't have any of that sort of shite to sort through.

I have 5 kids and none of them inherited left-handedness from me. 
Somehow, they've managed to become great despite being right-handed.

To somehow say that one segment of the population is superior to the rest is blatantly racist sexist misogynistic leftist! Hah! 
Ok, happy thingy then!

Like Mark Wallace I went to a school that tried to make us conform to right handed normality. As a result I
Bat in cricket right handed
bowl (again cricket) left handed
play golf (really badly) right handed
throw with my left hand
write left handed
eat left handed
tennis right handed
use a right handed mouse with my left hand
I really hated that school and have been dexterously confused ever since.

Or at least 82.5 cm

By my reckoning, that's the equivalent of 10 and a half 10" pizzas.
That's got to HURT!

The guy must have the most incredible digestive system. One pizza and I am bloated. I tried to eat a 24 inch one once, when I was young. Even then I couldnt eat the last two slices.

3.5Kg of bread and toppings in one sitting ... hurt is just one word.

It's certainly a feat that I'd rather not match.
A real pizza is 18" - (32/18)2 => a bit over three real pizzas. When I didn't worry about calories or fat or cholesterol would eat a whole one if given the chance.
The sad part is he scarfed it down so quickly he lost the flavor - and that's why I eat. Like those disgusting hot-dog eating contests. In that case, however, not tasting is probably a blessing
