No, I’m not talking politics.
I’m talking hands. Seems the newest US president is a left handed. Somehow I missed that until I watched him sign his first executive orders yesterday.
As a full blown leftie (again NOT talking politics), I find this somehow reassuring. After all, look at how lefties think…they focus on the whole picture, not just a piece here and there.

Here’s some trivia for you – Obama is the sixth southpaw-in-chief in office since the end of World War II.
Can you guess who the other five were?
(answers tomorrow)
I’d guess Kennedy, Clinton, Carter, Nixon (after all, he was creative with the truth…), and Reagan. Now I guess I’ll go look it up…
Wow, first time I’m hearing this. Since I’m a lefty too, it gives me hope.
Pretty neat huh. Lefties rule!
Caffeine Addiction – Caffeine Effects and Withdrawal part I
In this article, we are going to discuss the importance of caffeine addiction and the most important facts about it, as caffeine addiction is something we all must prevent in order for us to be healthy and stay that way for years. We are also going to mention some significant facts about caffeine effects and how caffeine effects may affect our body performance considerably.
Caffeine addiction is one of the most famous types of addictions in the world, just like cocaine and marihuana. Caffeine addiction sometimes has been considered a lie, but it is a really, because caffeine is a stimulant that becomes addictive within a certain period of time. Interestingly, caffeine addiction shows up when you are not expecting it, and it does not necessarily show up because we want to.
Pure caffeine is, chemically speaking, a plant-based alkaloid that stimulates the central nervous system in any living creature that intakes it. Biologically, caffeine serves as a form of pest control for certain plants like cacao trees, coffee shrubs, yuba mate and tea trees; it causes insects and other pests to fall down from the effects of over-stimulation. So, just like those pests and insects that I mentioned, caffeine also produces stimulation in our central nervous system, which usually makes us feel more energized, invigorating and active.
There is something called caffeine withdrawal, which refers to the sudden denial of us to consume caffeine, and it happens when regular consumers of caffeinated products may experience painful headaches if the body is denied caffeine. These headaches are caused by excess blood gathering in the area around the brain and sinus cavities, so without the stimulation provided by caffeine, the blood vessels shrink, restricting the blood flow. The traditional cure for caffeine withdrawal is to ingest more caffeine, which is not a healthy solution and this is also why many headache medications contain small amounts of caffeine…. to be continued

There are more male than female left handers, which compose about 10 percent of the human population. They may be left handed due to a traumatic birth of some sort. Cognitively, they either seem to be way above average with neuronal efficiency, or are lacking overtly. Many left handed people are in mental institutions as well. Many ER visits are due to a left handed incident. Left handers die younger than right as well. Left is Latin for ’sinister’, which is why various historical icons always display the left hand with evil.
