You're right stratman is a crap name, but I've been using it for so long I'm stuck with it now.
It might just be chance, but nearly all of them have been left handed!
I do think there's a genetic link too. There seems to be a fair amount of it in my family - my sister, my mother's sister and my eldest daughter are all strongly left-handed. I am right-handed, although much more ambidextrous than most right-handed people seem to normally be.
It's also possibly difficult to establish a family history properly because it's only a couple of generations since left-handedness was actively suppressed by schoolteachers and other ignorant types.

It's also somewhat (although very weakly) associated with schizophrenia
My sister is unusual in being extremely left-handed, to the point she has found it difficult to learn to do a lot of things that many other lefties manage right-handed, whereas I'm the opposite in being only weakly right-handed and finding it easy to learn to do many things left-handed when it's useful to, as well as several things I seem to naturally do that way. So both of us seem more to the left than normal.
I seem to remember Drew saying he's very strongly left-handed too.

I write right handed but I was taught how to do that.
I play guitar right handed, but that was a choice based on the availability of right handed guitars.
My natural fighting stance is as a southpaw.
I tend to reach for things with my left, I operate my phone with my left.
If I type one-handed it will tend to be with my left.
The... er.... five finger shuffle is with my left.
For drumming I am roughly equal with both hands, the right is stronger but the left is more accurate and has better technique, but I play essentially right handed with the hi-hat on the left of my snare.
But I use a knife with my right hand, holding what I am cutting with my left hand.
I plane wood with both, but will prefer the right because it is stronger- I don't know if that is conditioning or because it is my natural handedness.
To do any of these things the other way feels pretty unnatural.
I've never worked out if I am actually a lefty who has adapted, or if cross dominance is a natural thing for me.

I also didn't realise how angry it would make me feel...

I learnt to play guitar right handed due mainly to the lack of lefties at the time, and because it makes more sense to do all the fiddly fretting stuff with my left hand.
I've never got on with 'left handed' gadgets, mainly I think because it confuses my brain and I'm so used to using the same as everyone else.
I knock one out with my right, because I'm plain awkward

Then again, I part my combover on the left and it looks OK in the mirror, but in real life it must look the opposite way around. So long as the world isn't over run by left handed tin openers and leftie Les Pauls are banned I'II be happy.
Arrrrrgh. It's doing my eyes and my brain in. Does it seriously appear aesthetically normal to left handed people?
Moreover, is this how left handed people see the rest of the normal world. I couldn't even imagine.
My brain hurts.
