To be left handed...

Are left-handed people smarter?

Yep. According to researcher Alan Searleman, southpaws have higher IQs, solve problems better and enjoy more extensive vocabularies than righties. Lefty cases in point: Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, for starters. Not to mention every U.S. president since 1981, except George Bush.

Take heart, righties: Searleman's study also found that lefties have worse memories than their right-handed peers.

*******

I wouldn't call myself "smarter", but I do see things in a completely different way than most. And I'll go for the vocabulary bit. When I gey annoyed, I start flinging the words around...Babe always says that he can tell how mad I am by counting the syllables in the words I say. LOL

And I completely agree with the memory thing. I know I had a point to go along with it, but I can't remember what it was. ;) ;) Seriously, anyone in the GW thread knows how often I forget to do things *cough* update the RR page or read fanfics *cough* LOL And you would giggle if you saw the "To Do" lists around the house. It's not because I have a lot to do--it's just I won't remember to do any of it.

I think it's totally weird about the presidents...oh well, go Lefties!! :D :D

I heard a while ago that lefties were more intelligent because the right side of the brain operates the left side of the body... no idea how acturate that it.

What about people who can't decide whether they are left or right handed? My bro's just backwards :P

LOL. I have an excellent memory.
