I'm straight and ambidextrous(*), but goatee'd and 1/8 Ukrainian
1/8 Polish-Pomeranian -- which certainly counts if Russian counts.

Religionwise I'm a Buddhist, and there are a lot of magical syllables
and seemingly nonsense mantras in Tibetan Buddhism.

BTW if I'm not mistaken Balaibalan predates Hildegard, so
the first conlangers on historical record were Muslims!

(*) I was very probably born left-handed, but I was also lame,
and they trained my right hand more as a matter of course.

    "Maybe" is a strange word.  When mum or dad says it
    it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
    means "no"!
