I can believe that certain kids of brain damage lead to ambidexterity, but I don't believe for one second that becoming Penwald ambidextrous causes brain damage. No way. Congrats on the progress you've made. It sounds like you've discovered a good way to eat, depending on whether you want to bump arms or not! @ Timmy, I’ve read the brain damaged article too.

While some would say that there's no practical use for this, you've just shown us one! @ cb, a few people (usually lefties) have a natural ability to read upside-down or backwards writing.

This is great when standing at a boss's desk during times of employee fear and uncertainty. I can quickly see that there is no document on his desk with a note to himself to downsize me today. :) Just read the e-book, and it answered a lot of questions I’d had – such as why so many of us lefties hook our hands when we write, what sides of the brain we’re actually probably using, etc.

My parents, who were both left-handed, kept trying to show me the reversed way. (: I didn’t learn to tie my shoes until I was 10!

Do I read the right-handed version, since that's my current dominant hand? What if I was born left-handed but raised right-handed?
