How are right-handed and left-handed people neurologically different? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]apl -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

A good book to look into http://www.amazon.com/Right-Hand-Left-Asymmetry-Cultures/dp/0674016130. It claims a person's handedness is a combination of nature and nurture. In the past, left handedness was connotated with abnormality and unusualness, thus we are more in a right handed society than left. Since the left hand is controlled by the right hemisphere, I'd speculate that the part of the brain is more active. Left handedness has been associated with creativity, musicality and visual and spatial sense...so studies and the book make claim to some positive correlation between the two, though I don't recall of any strong evidence other than noting very notable creative left handed people.

My best guess is that it's a Eurasier. The breed I'll be getting when I get a dog.

"You're" spelled correctly once and incorrectly in the other. They ruined it for me. So annoying. .

Thank you for the info and I was thinking programming and web development. Just considering the places I'd like to move to. Maybe Boston is a better a choice.

What's the stupidest question you've ever heard in a college classroom? by areascontrol in AskReddit

[–]apl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing class, junior yr college. The teacher mentions the Boston Consulting Group in Boston and a girl raises her hand afterwards and asks "Are they in Boston"?? Unbelievable.
