International Left Hander’s Day

August 13th every year is celebrated as the world’s International

hander’s. The top of the list is Barack Obama and my favorite Scarlet

7. Scarlett Johansson
 As Wikipedia notes, being a left-hander living in a right-handed
world is inconvenient. The design and placement of everyday

handles hot water taps, can openers, pens chained down in banks
and post offices, ringbound notebooks and even the printing on
promotional pens is created for right-handers.

8. Robert De Niro
