Yes- that is Left handed people.
Today is International Left Hander's Day! So to celebrate being a leftie myself- I give you famous lefties, and some fascinating facts.
Facts-
-Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right.
-4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed
-Left-handers are generally more intelligent, better looking, imaginative and multi-talented than right handers - based on discussions among members of the Left-Handers Club! :)
-Stuttering and dyslexia occur more often in left-handers (particularly if they are forced to change their writing hand as a child, like King of England George VI). (that just goes to show it is not a good thing to force someone to be a rightie!)
-Most left-handed people exhibit some degree of ambidexterity
Now famous Lefties- - I got this list from this site there are a TON more if you want to see them. These were just some of my favorites-starting with my Favorite
