Ew! The spider thingy gets me too!! Actually, I do find the lefty info interesting. A couple with one lefty have a 17% chance of giving birth to a lefty where as a couple with both being lefties have a 33% of giving birth to a lefty. Neither one of my parents are lefties but I am. What are the chances of that?
