All Right on the Left

Nothing sinister here. It's just a date to remember: International Left-Handers Day on August 13. The date was consecrated as such in 1992 by The Left-Handers Club, which itself had been founded in London two years before. According to the site, "in the U.K. alone there have been more than 20 regional events to mark the day in recent years." These have included left-handed tea parties (no, not the political kind, although ... ) and the establishment of special "Lefty Zones" nationwide. Interesting things one can learn on the site include the fact that 4/5 of the original designers of the Mac were lefties, as were 1/4 of the Apollo astronauts (website): http://www.lefthandersday.com/
