    He is walked from Olympia, Washington to Augusta, Maine, how long of a hike (in miles and months) would Livermanne have walked?

    And in some places, dogs are the dinner.

    Being left handed and having to read that statistic so often is what’s driving me to an early grave.

    Rip’s first oddities cartoon (“Champs and Chumps”) asked the question, “Remember The Chap Who Walked Backward Across the Continent?”. He never said who it was, but my guess is that it was Mr. Livermanne’s great-grandfather!

    Same here. I think right handed people put that out there to make us left handers self conscious.

    Many lefties die an early death trying to use tools designed by righties, thus skewing the statistics.

    The left handed thing is based on a flawed study that noted that the number of older people who are left handed is less than the number of young people who are left handed. It turns out that if you are older you were likely trained at a young age to be right handed because being left handed was considered wrong.

    Excellent rebuttal. billtomlinson442. So much of “science” is influenced by the human failure to incorrectly interpret data.

    Being left handed but made into a right hander can mess you up. It certainly has me.

    I do some things left handed and some right handed.
