What southpaws have known all along

We’re better than the rest of you. The BBC says it so it must be true:

Left-handed people can think quicker when carrying out tasks such as playing computer games or playing sport, say Australian researchers.

Connections between the left and right hand sides or hemispheres of the brain are faster in left-handed people, a study in Neuropsychology shows. The fast transfer of information in the brain makes left-handers more efficient when dealing with multiple stimuli.

This explains why I am so good at Tetris.

  2. It’s all true of course :-)

    I’ve always though that much of the left-handers advantage in sport came from people playing against them less due to their rarity though.
