Re: Right or Left handed,it really does mean something.
The brain is cross wired so that the left side of the body feeds into the right hemisphere of the brain, and the right side of the body feeds into the left hemisphere of the brain. I can't really recall, but I don't believe that it has a lot to do with handedness.
There was some speculation back in the 80's that left handed people are more creative because the right side of the brain is the one associated with creativity, and there is a bit of statistical data to support this, but it really shouldn't make a whole lot of difference because the two brain hemispheres communicate very well, unless you're had your corpus callosum cut as a fashion statement, or you came down with a nasty case of Agenesis.
But, just like hands, one hemisphere tends to be dominant - but you can't attribute too much to that because there are very few activities which are really exclusive to either hemisphere.
You are also either right eyed or left eyed too...
