Wasn't there a poll that showed that we had lots more men, left handers,
and gay people here than in the population at large? :) Those things
have some tendency to cluster btw... I think more men are left handed
than women, and more left handed people are gay than right handed people
(apparently 45% of gay men are left handed, vs 10% in the whole
population). I'm not sure what other interesting things it came up with....
