    They had us memorize a 1" think book of facts for an Energy Bowl Competition in 9th grade. That is the one fact I have never been able to forget.

    About 82% of the population is right-side dominant (right handed).
    When confronted with a bright light, the reflex is to shield the dominant eye.
    Which means, that for 82% of the population, the right nostril is the place where the sun don't shine!

    Don't you just LOVE statistics!
