I’m Cured!
Posted by Michael.
Scientists have finally isolated a gene (LRRTM1) that appears to increase the odds of being left-handed by inverting the functions of each side of the brain - one side controlling speech and language and the other governing emotion/creativity/etc.
So, all I need is a bit dose of stem cells, a bit of gene therapy, and I could finally be normal!

It should be noted that I now way intend to make light of schizophrenia. (There is a correlation between brain asymmetry and schizophrenia and thus the “cure” would apply to this nasty disorder, not left-handedness.)
I’m content to kick butt the way I am, even if statistically I’ll die 7 years sooner (lefty+male+something else I forget).

that something you forgot = awesome.
You know, ’cause awesome folks go out early in a blaze of glory.
Or something like that.
It’s late, my brain hurts, my latest sample was kaput, and I still have to finish preparing a linear algebra review session for tomorrow.
So, your post got hijacked by the random things falling out of my addled mind. It’s my “gift” to you for today. Enjoy!
