Left-handed calendar

Here's a cool left-handed calendar you can download for free. Pity I've found out about it when there are just three months of 2008 left.

Hopefully, they'll do another one for 2009.

Left-handed maestro

Here's yet another example of the left hander's natural superiority. :)

In last week's final of 'Maestro' - the BBC's series of celebs wielding a baton - not only was the runner up (Goldie) left handed but so was the winner, Sue Perkins.

Congratulations to both of them.

Left-handed plants

I read an interesting article that says most climbing plants are left handed. That’s the result of a study that discovered 95% of vines in 75 locations across the world twined anti-clockwise.

Lead scientist behind the research Angela Moles, an evolutionary biologist at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney said: "All [natural] proteins on Earth are left-handed molecules with a tendency to twist in one direction. In plants, the cell skeletons are made of proteins. If the proteins have a tendency to twist to the left, so might the plant stems."

Other research has shown that 94 per cent of spiral sea shells twist to the left.

E-Reader

I saw my first electronic book at the weekend. Then, on Monday, I saw a photo of the new Sony E-Reader in a newspaper. Both gadgets had the controls down the right hand side. If these electronic reading devices take off, I doubt very much whether they will make a left-handed version.

At least with a conventional paper book, you can turn the pages with your left hand.
