Huh... those are really interesting. I never knew any of those.
Ooh I like these kind of facts, though I'm kind of surprised the percentage of left handed people is so low!
The left handed bit interested me, I was born that way and as I'm so old, I come from a time when I was forced use my left hand. Now I'm hopelessly lost. :-)
I love stuff like this. Thanks!

There is also no English word to rhyme with 'orange' or 'silver.' Thanks for these facts..:)
