    Similarly to the driving on the left/right issue, spiral staircases in castles go in one particular direction so that defending is easier with your sheild in your left hand, sword in your right. You get more room for righties going downwards and swinging yer sword.

    there has been an increase in the incidence of left handedness since they started doing multiple ultrasounds to babies.

    If you have taken any form of fabricated hallucinogenic more than 5 times in your life, you can be deemed as clinically insane. I used to have to take 10/day just to operate.
