I like the cut o' their jib. It's hard being left handed.

AlanG · 13th August 2003, 03:46 PM

erm is that article using duff statistics?

in a room of 100 people, 13 will be left handed - fair enough

in the same room of 100 people 9 will be gay and left handed - thats saying 69% of left handed people are gay????

in the same room, 3 will be gay and missing a limb.

so thats also saying that 1/3rd of gay left handed people are missing a limb.

Surely hes pulled these figures from his ass? *with his left hand*

Has anyone noticed nowadays how nearly everyday is some day for something, non-smoking day, left handed day, endangered species day, cancer awareness day, famale day, mothers day, fathers day grandparents day?, kissing day, the list is endless. Someone once told me that every single day does actually have something special about ti and that things have to be doubled up. Dunno if its true though.

Some things get whole weeks dedicated to them. i'm sure you'll agree that there is nothing more deserving of such an accolade as the humble chip. National Chip Week ran from the 21st-27th february this year, here's some fun facts about it:

"national chip week is a promotional initiative by the british potato council"
"national chip week is an annual celebration of the ‘chip’ in all its forms"
"national chip week is one of the largest and best established awareness"
"national chip week is all about being a chip off the old block in the tastiest way possible" (good one)

Is there a right handed day?
