Can we start an informal poll of the forum to find out? (e.g. like what was used to set the chat topic for BP chat?)

Lefty here, but when I was manic once I found out that I am fully ambidextrous at writing in some cases (e.g. on a whiteboard) and that my righthand handwriting actually looks nicer. When I was manic I thought that was a *big deal*. Embarrassing...
