Oh, but as a kid did I love that the word "sinister" found its derivation from the Latin "left". My mother, a leftie, couldn't understand my fascination with her otherness to me. (Especially since, as a child my left hand was the favored, possible because at birth my right clavicle was shattered and my right shoulder separated. Granted, I was dead at the time, so I totally don't remember it. Anyway, Grandma Lucile insisted that I be forced to work with my right hand, "to make life easier down the road".)
Even my childhood hero Green Lantern knew that lefties were evil. His arch-nemesis was Sinestro, who wore his power ring on, you guessed it, his left hand!
So it's fantastic to know that Californians have recognized the horror that is left-handedness and started a coalition to put those freaks back in the right, so to speak.
Protect Traditional Handedness.
(via Andy, who was cast as King Arthur in our high school's musical over me, which caused me to throw a fit not just because he was a freaking sophomore and I was a senior, but then they offered me the Director slot which was even more awesome in my opinion because I was really in it for filling up my college application with "diverse experiences", but then, when they couldn't find the right fit for Merlin, forced me into that role which totally upset me because I had just played The Wizard in Once Upon a Mattress and, you know, you don't want to be typecast forever as a mage, but the real problem for me was that I was horrible at monologues and Merlin has a freaking huge one in Camelot and that had me freaking out even more because of my bad memory and, oh, yeah, I for whatever reason pronounced the word "sword" with a enunciated "w")
