1. SUPER LEFTIES
Some people think of left-handedness as a
problem, but we know better!
Right handers are wired into the logical left
half of the brain, which makes them sensible,
reasonable and DULL.

Left-handers are wired into the artistic
right hemisphere of the brain which makes
them imaginative, creative, witty, obsessive,
infuriating, delightful and original but
NEVER DULL

* Of 12 astronauts who have walked on the moon,
4 were left-handers (including the second ever,
Buzz Aldrin). That is 1 in 3 rather than the
1 in 10 you would normally expect

* Left-handers are twice as likely to qualify
for MENSA, the high IQ society

* A full THIRD of all US presidents since 1945
have been left-handed

* Your sense of humour is in the left-hand
brain. It is no accident that so many of the
great comics have been left-handed

* Left-handers have better 3-dimensional
awareness and precision, this explains why
there are so many great left-handed tennis
players and why there are a lot of left-
handed architects.

2. LEFT-HANDERS SURVEY RESULTS
Did you know that 74% of left handers eat
right-handed, that is with the knife in their
right hand when used with a fork as well, but
88% change over to use the knife in their LEFT
hand when cutting with just a knife.

We have been running a survey of left-handers
that has shown some fascinating results.
To see the full results, go to
www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/lefty_surveyresults.html

To complete the survey yourself, go to
www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/lefty_survey.html

and we will add your answers to our database
for further analysis in the future

3. LEFT-HANDED SCISSORS
The thing that most left-handers want is a
proper pair of scissors, but did you know why
they are left-handed? Apart from having the
grips moulded or ground for comfort in the
left hand, they have the blades fully reversed
so that the left blade is always on top.

This means that you can see your cutting line
and the natural squeezing motion of your hand
pushes the blades together rather than apart.

Have you ever seen child trying to peer over
the top of their scissors and bending the
paper between the blades so it tears; that
is the effect of back-to-front right-handed
scissors and one of the reasons left-handers
get a reputation as being awkward, but neither
you nor they have to put up with it!

You can see a great range of fully left-handed
scissors in all shapes and sizes in the shop
section of our web site at
www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk

Our payment server is fully secure (look for
the padlock symbol in your browser) and we
offer a no-questions guarantee on all of our
products. If you do not think our scissors
are great, just let me know and I
will refund your money and postage both ways!
(I can do this because it hardly ever happens)

As a new Club member, we really want you to
benefit from our products and hope you can find time to have a good look around our online shop - you may be surprised by some of the things that we have had produced left-handed!
