A new study suggests that Right Handed people perceive their right arms to be longer than their left arms, while left handed people have an accurate perception of arm length. 

I know it sounds bizarre, but it is a fact. The study suggests that this perception difference is due to the face that in left-handed people, and equal amount of their brain is devoted to controlling the left and right sides of their body, while right handed people have much more of their brain dedicated to controlling the right side of their body. 

I can’t help but wonder if this is why there are so many lefties who are successful in the fields of art and architecture.

Superstitions that are IN FAVOUR of Lefties (Most aren’t)

·         Anyone who digs coal out of the ground from under his or her left foot in the Spring will have very good luck.

·         If you apply an ointment with the forefinger of the right hand the sore will not heal. This is because this finger is said to be the ‘poison’ finger.

·         The ancient Zuni tribe considered left-handedness a sign of good luck. They believed the left was the older and wiser
