left%20hand.JPGBecause of a systemic campaign of de-emphasis by the Man (who is right-handed, of course) today, August 13, Left-Handers' Day, has only a few hours left in it.

I don't know about you, but I can still remember the years and years and years of suffering through classrooms with right-handed desks, trying to cut with right-handed scissors (I finally learned how to cut right-handed) and, of course, right-handed golf clubs. Even place settings favor the righty. I can take some small comfort in the fact that hitting lefty is an advantage in baseball, although, as a stereotypical pitcher, I stunk.

However, we lefties have one key advantage in the tech world. Do you know what it is?



Yep, that's left: the number pad. No lame WASD keying for video games here! Place the mouse in your left hand, move, jump and strafe with your right, and wreak sinister destruction on your foes.

Need inspiration? Check out this list of famous lefties. Hint: President Clinton is a lefty. Pres. George W. Bush is not.

So sit back, crack open a beverage (see the image for a suggestion; that's a palms-down hand, by the way) and fight to get the lefts of lefties back for good!
