LEFTY SCISSORS

What makes scissors right or left handed ???

The difference between left & right hand scissors:-

when you close the scissors, the cutting edges close and are pressed rogether because your fingers holding the scissors bend and your thumb stretches. If the cutting edges are pushed away from each other, the material being cut slides in between and is definitely not cut. This is what happens when you use a right hand scissors with your left hand.

WHY.....

WHY.... are there more

Left handed Males

than Females.....?

Research has looked at the amount of testosterone present in the fetus and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Scientists have speculated that an excessive level of testosterone slows the development of the left side of the brain, which allows the right side of the brain to achieve and maintain dominance.

** ** LEFT-HANDER'S DAY 2008 HAPPENING AUGUST 9 & 10......about two weeks to go...

If U r asked for direction, would U say:

"go to the T-junction at the end of this road

and turn left. Then take the next left.

The house is on the same side, opposite

the lamp post."

OR

U draw a picture?

If U say verbally, then U r using the left hemisphere of the brain, which treats stimuli serially, one at a time.

If U drew a picture or waved your arms around in the air, U r using the right hemisphere which

processes stimuli many at a time as a whole. This process is said to be easier and more predominant among left handers.
