ReplyDeleteThe spider thing is really disturbing!!!
ReplyDeletehow can a human not have a belly button?
ReplyDeleteEw! 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?
ReplyDeleteActually, chameleons can run and look back without turning their heads so they are not all true...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I cant imagine John Travolta playing Tootsie and I will be sure to keep my mouth closed or taped up at night, ha ha
ReplyDeleteMy parents are right handed. My sister is right handed, my brother and I are left handed.
ReplyDeleteMy spouse is right handed; we have two children, 1 is right handed and 1 is left handed.
Out of eight of us, three of us are left-handed.
