My fourteen-year-old daughter is left-handed, and she is very much proud of it. She is the only left-handed person in her class at school (35+ students).

In the US, when I was a kid at least, we got the scissors with the green rubber handles. They were way better.

"I may be left-hander, but I'm always right" 
As a lefty who does a lot with his right hand I always find myself looking for the 'correct' hand to do things with... Like last week when I played pool for the first time, I didn't know if I should use my left or right hand so I used both.
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

It's good practice to do new skills both ways around. A lot of 'handedness' is actually practice and training. For example, most of us (in the west) pick up a fork in our left hand when eating, even though that's arguably the more 'dextrous' of the two tasks. Similarly, golf and cricket are both played the 'wrong' way round by logic, if you're really right handed, because the top hand is the control hand in both sports and that's the left with a typical right-hander's stance.
Try using your mouse on the other side for a week .
Sometimes it can really help, like painting or getting a screwdriver onto a screw in an awkward corner that can only be reached with the 'wrong' hand.

Always a wise choice. Trying to play pool one-handed is a fool's errand.
I have found that switching hands helps with difficult shots.

You are better than I am.
Then why are you smiling?
Because I know something you don't know.
And what is that?
I am not left-handed.
You're amazing!
I ought to be after twenty years.
There is something I ought to tell you.
Tell me.
I'm not left-handed either.

I can imagine those before even reading this thinking: What about the bacon number dude, that's old news 
I just found it very interesting to see that people you would never suspect it from has very Low bacon numbers 
Lets take Barack Obama. He has a bacon number of 2! 
Same goes for Nelson Mandela! (Although I do not believe it fair that it is because his image was used in a film, cheaters  )
you do not easily get past 4 although most are 2 
even the great Leslie Nielsen has a 2... 
Even people not in Hollywood, like Cristiano Ronaldo gets a 3! But I like that most of the bacon numbers I lookup ended in X-Men 
So I am curious. What is the most interesting bacon number connection you have found?

8 is the best number to associate with bacon.

That's just scratching the surface - there's plenty more of them a-rind here.

It brings me to a biography, a wikipedia explanation about the book and the 42 and to a forum site
Googling a bit more I have found about the bacon numbers, didn't know about it.
But nevermind, it was just a joke about the numbers. Don't need to get deeper
