This one is cool because it was sent to me by one of are friends. So if you know some thing about "Lefties" send it to me or post it in the post section.
"90% of all Polar Bears are left handed"
Which posses and interesting question if 90% of all Polar Bears are left handed but they live at the North pole would they still be referred to as "South Paws"?
Polar Bears are left pawed so that when attacking prey to the colder north, their more powerful paw is warmed and thawed by the warmer evening sun.
"Southpaws" in baseball are so-named because playing fields tradtionally place home plate to the west- so the evening sun was not in the batter's eyes- which put the lefty's pitching arm to the south.
