I am right handed only because when a kid I was made to write with my right hand, when I was writing with my left.
I tend to do most things with both hands.

I'll say less maybe 15%? I'd say that we all would naturally be ambidextrous and a lot more would use their left hand if it hadn't been considered "sinister" by the early church.  |

It was to do with the Hat.....mercury was used in the process of making the felt hat, evidence was that it made those involved with the making of the hats inhaled fumes making them seem stoned like or crazy in speech....The numbers on his hat was the price that they cost at that time being 10shillings and 6pence. He also gave evidence when The Knave had called upon him during the trial to find out who stole the tarts.....The was one of my favorite books....along with his next book. C S Lewis was into cocaine because they found a snuff box, and we all know what that was used for...So maybe that was part of his own well-being includ in the story.

Would most likely be a tropical fruit so ..... the banana? Thinking it's not a citrus fruit because of the use of citronella as an insect repellant. Probably not related to citrus fruit, so it's a shot in the dark .... as is the bite of the mosquito  Except not for me, they don't bother me  |

Na depends how you look at it, The chances of ever drawing a Royal Flush has more odds against you and I Yollie of receiving one in playing but good luck and great if you do. 1/3.5million, and getting two in our lifetime is that much more... an anomelie.
