      Yes, yes we are. You know what the ultimate evil is? Being a left handed Scorpio. I was left with no choice - being left handed and born on Halloween. I am what the gods and fates made me to be. (Insert Evil Laughtm here)

          Thank god for that!

          My adopted sister, was a freckled face fiery redhead when she was a kid. But when she got into high school, she suddenly stopped being a redhead and announced to all and sundry that she would forthwith be Auburn. And Auburn she has been ever since. She still has the freckles though.

      Similarly, “dexterous” comes from the Latin for right. So being ambidextrous literally means “having two right hands.”

      I like to joke that I’m ambisinestral: two left hands.

      yeah btw this connection between spatial orientation and character trait was already established in antiquity, at least for the right-hand. that’s why i keep saying that the denotations of “politically left/right” go back much farther than the french revolution.
