Ambidexterity
Ok, so here I am sitting all bored and I realize the beauty of upside-down handwriting. It's an art in my opinion. It also requires talent. Another strange thing I noticed is that writing upside down with your non-dominant hand is easier than doing the same upright. I think I'm getting good enough that I can almost be called ambidextrous. Haven't you ever wondered what a help ambidexterity is? It would also be very very cool. I have developed my skills so well that I can take notes quickly upside down and still have it be legible. Think of the uses of ambidexterity. The ambidextrous happen to be better at certain games like baseball and pool. Think of pool especially. They can make more shots and shorter shots because there are some angles that can't be hit comfortably by using the right side. I also found it strange that an artist who is amazing with his hands wasn't able to do it. He was reduced to baby scribble when he attempted it. It's a strange thing, the human body... You know, I think that maybe the lack of ambidexterity and lefthanded people could also be contributed to the fact that most technology or appliances or even instruments are made for the right-handed. I'm talking about things like guitars, can openers, and teaching methods for young students barely being introduced to writing. What if humans were originally lefties? What if all of that had to change to adjust to these right-handed situations? I really don't know but maybe one day I'll find out.
