    Oh dear! I’m obviously not one of the best Pisces! I’m right handed, but I married a southpaw. Does that count?

    Are you ambidextrous Ergates? That would count  :D

    No, but actually OH is, so not truly left handed.

    Seeing as you're a Pisces I'll tell you something really strange but I don't tell many people because they used to burn folks like me at the stake years ago. Well, apart from being left handed (that was a burning at the stake crime for a start) I can write backwards, mirror writing, just as easily as forward writing. As I say, keep it to yourself or I'm doomed.  :o

    Wow, @Uff Some seriously interesting brain wiring there! I wonder what other skills you may have that you didn’t realise were special! 
    I can read upside down, but I did have to teach myself that. Very useful for reading documents on desks!

    Mildly interested in this handedness debate, I looked up some figures. The best research I found was a major study in Austria and Germany which showed 10.5% of those with birthdays in November, December and January were left handers compared to 8.2% left-handedness the rest of the year.

    So, sorry Pisceans, the accolade goes to Capricorn and Sagittarius with minor input from Scorpio and Aquarius.

    Other studies show a peak in left hander births in August. What is happening here, quite possibly, is a surge in respondents to such surveys from people who are left handed and whose interest is piqued by the fact their birthday is on, or close to, World Lefthanders Day on August 13th.
