My son and I are both left-handed and have IQs of 180+ If that's brain
damage, I'm all for it. :) I suspect that some of my forebears also were
left-handed, but in those days kids were forced to use their right hands
in
school.
Uses for right hand? I use a hammer and do other gross-motor activities
best with my right
hand.
