Iggy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.What products? How are they killed?Dr T- that link you gave in response to ATrain listed only longevity- that left handed cricket players had a 2 year shorter life expectancy over right handed players. The last article was from a study done at the Universtiy of Minnesota, the last sentence says it all: There was no difference in the mean age at death of left-handed, right-handed, and ambidextrous women. These findings do not support an association between left-handedness and increased mortality risk. What other articles did you read to support your over 2,500 left handed people A YEAR are killed from using PRODUCTS for right handed people.

Dr T Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I didn't use those articles for that stat. It came from general "trivial information" data. I've seen it on two different trivia sites. === The sloth (a mammal) moves so slowly that green algae can grow undisturbed on its fur!

I worked for 8.5 years in a hardware store- believe me there are power tools made for left handed people and for right handed people.I think it is a phony trivia stat - not your fault Dr T- theirs for not checking it out for truthfulness.

Dr T Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I read that one too.

havejoy Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 The thing with planetary weights and distances is weird to me. It begs so many questions. Like HOW did the Earth get weighed? Was she wearing anything (snow) at the time? What was the scale resting on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
