Left Handers Day Shocking Facts: 12 Reasons Why Lefties Are Awesome!

http://images.latintimes.com/sites/l...eft-hander.jpg

August 13 is International Left-Handers Day, an initiative from the Left-Handers Club to increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed. Although lefties have to live in a world made for righties, struggling with spiral notebooks, binders, school desks, driver's cup holder, keyboards, game controllers, dealing with scissors, butter knives and getting ink or graphite on the side of your hand, and other shocking scientific facts that basically add to the reasons why lefties are prone to dying sooner, there are very cool advantages that come with being a lefty!

1) Did you know left-handers are more likely to pass their driver's test on the first try?

2) They are also more apt to be a part of Mensa, the world's largest and oldest high IQ society. This is because studies have shown lefties are more likely to have an IQ score above 131.

3) Lefties are great at competitive sports. They make especially good baseball players, tennis players, swimmers, boxers and fencers (almost 40% of the top tennis players are lefties).

4) Left handers recover from strokes faster.

5) And are also more likely to pursue creative careers.

6) Of the seven most recent U.S Presidents, 4 have been left handed, including Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Obama.

7) Left handed college graduates go on to become 26% richer than right handed graduates.

8) Lefties can clearly see the world underwater. Scientists think it has something to do with a different part of the brain being central in left handed individuals.

9) Research shows lefties are smarter in math because their brains are more flexible.

10) Left handers process things faster than righties and can multitask easier thanks to connections between the right and left sides of the brain being faster in left-handed people.

11) Left-handed people easily hear rapidly changing sounds.

12) And, lefties are better at playing video games, although controllers are made for righties!

Police cooks pasta for an elderly couple after neighbors heard them crying.

A story about urban loneliness and an act of kindness.


Last Tuesday police in Rome were called to a block of flats in the Appio area of the city after someone reported hearing crying and shouting.

Four officers attended the scene and found 84-year-old Jole and her 94-year-old husband Michele in their small flat. The elderly couple hadn’t committed a crime. Nor had burglars attempted to break in.

Jole and Michele had started to cry while watching television. The former had asked her husband why there was so much hate in the news that day and Jole had cried so loudly that someone in the building called the police.

The elderly couple, who have been married for nearly 70 years, felt lonely. It had been ages since someone had visited them, they told the officers.

On the kitchen table there were only some old grapes, and few signs of a recent proper meal. So as police waited for an ambulance to check in on the couple, one officer prepared a plate of pasta for Jole and Michele – a simple dish, spaghetti with butter and parmesan – while the other three officers sat down with the couple for a chat.

For any one of us who know any elderly people, it is so important to give them a call on the tele, drop by with some food or just visit once in a while. It makes a world of difference, we can not assume they have family or friends with whom they have meaningful relationships.
