It's the Right day to Write Left-Handed ! International Lefthanders Day (August 13)

Happy Day for all the Lefthanders reading this Blog!  -- Exercise your right to be a "Lefty" !

from WIKIPEDIA explanation - definition

August 13 is designated International Lefthanders Day by Lefthanders International. It was first observed 13 August 1976.

As its name suggests, it is meant to promote awareness of the inconveniences facing left-handed individuals in a predominantly right-handed  world. It celebrates their uniqueness and difference, who are from 7 - 10 % of the world's population.

Many left-handed people are discriminated against today's society, and are forced to use right handed tools, drive on the right side of the road, and even get harassed. International Lefthanders Day is made to end this discrimination.

Newsfeed from TIME dot-com has this article by Glen Levy:

Chances are that President Barack Obama, to say nothing of quite a few of his predecessors, knows that it's International Left-Handers Day. Why? Because he — like five of the last seven presidents — is a lefty. (And we’re not talking about politically.)

Obama, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford are or were left-handed — quite the statistical anomaly, considering that only about 1 in 10 people worldwide prefer using their left hands.

It turns out that 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed, as were 4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer. When it comes to twins, one of them has a high chance of being left-handed, and lefties are believed to be especially good at the likes of tennis, baseball, swimming and fencing.

Other famous lefties include Prince William, Marilyn Monroe, Leonardo da Vinci, Jimi Hendrix, Martina Navratilova, and Nicole Kidman.
