A high-five to left-handers today
Some famous left-handers: Leonardo da Vinci, Barak Obama, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Gates, Justin Bieber and Michael O'Leary
Today is annual Left Handers Day — a chance for left-handers everywhere to celebrate their unique interpretation on life.
But being left-handed is not an easy road travelled. Accounting for only 11% of the global population, left-handers were once associated with evil, bad luck, mental deficiency, cruelty, even murderous tendencies. These days it's more likely to be a touch of clumsiness arising from having to use gadgets and implements designed for people who favour their right hand. So maybe that was in the mind of whoever chose Friday 13th to celebrate left handers, oh dear.
