- I cannot get too technical, but both dyslexia and lefthandedness are signs of
- a less-than-usual separation of the two halves of the brain. Thus a tendency
- for both to be a bit less channeled and a bit more confused, and with a greatly
- increased chance to fully recover from a stroke.

- I don't know about computer people, but I long ago noticed a tendency for
- historians to be more lefty than the societal norm. Anyone else make this, or
- the contrary, observation?
