February 11, 2013: This May Be Handy

Does anyone need a hand?

Hands are the most versatile appendages, being able t grab & hold, rearrange, operate devices, point out oddities, write, type, and many other tasks.  Our hands and their unique structure is what sets humans apart from most other animals.  However, there is one catch to these Awesome Appendages© that can be complicating - how many people are more adept at one hand than the other.

I, specifically, am right-handed, and I find my right hand is far more useful than my left.  It allows me to write efficiently, pick up objects, all the usual tasks as listed above.  My left hand, however, can barely do any of these things at all...in fact, my left is suited manly for assisting my right in lifting things.  Should I try to write with my left hand, it would come out nearly illegible - something that rarely happens with my right hand.  (My left can type just as well as my right, strangely)  As such, I have a natural tendency and preference to use my right hand, and I generally like it more than the other.  This kind of sentiment is shared with most people, depending on their handedness.
