Strange Trivia

About 8% of the world's people have blue eyes and about the same number are left handed, but not necessarily the same 8%.

I'm in one catagory, but not the other.

I also have a blood type that appears in a smaller percentage of people than either of those things.

I was also born with a fairly low percentage hair color, though it's not that color anymore.


I guess you can just call me Mr. Recessive Genes.

Yeah, but we recessives are vanishing as the world grows smaller.

So maybe I should change it to Mr. Dinosaur?

I married into a genetic tree that is well known for being left-handed. I can't remember the exact statistics, but if you're a genetic Kerr, I think it's 15% are left handed. In fact in some parts of scotland being lefthanded is still called being "kerrhanded" and one of the kerr castles has it's spiral staircase going the opposite direction to normal so that when they were fighting coming down the stairs they had the advantage because the rail was on their left hand side. I am not left handed, although my father-in-law and sister-in-law are.
