You've got me beat, Jim

I can't write upside down fluently. Humm, maybe if I practice?

I believe lef-anded people develop unusual skills because of all the right-handed tools and irritations that all the right-handed inventors never thought about. Like students' desks, can openers, corkscrews, spiral notebooks (ReNae), scissors, knives with the bevel on the wrong side, carpenters tools (dangerous). I can continue for a long time if anyone's interested.

I'm ambi too: play tennis both, baseball both, draw both when necessary, but this isn't the point of the thread.

Rumor has it that DaVinci was paralyzed in his right hand and arm. Anyone know any more about that? He certainly had an incredible brain.

Kathe Kollwitz and Pablo Picasso were also lefties.
