Happy International Left-Handers Day! 

Here’s a fun fact: August 13th is International Left-Handers Day, an event celebrated worldwide. The holiday was started on August 13th 1992 when the Left-Handers Club decided to create an annual event when left-handers everywhere could celebrate their sinistrality and enlighten the public of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed.

Who are some famous left handed people? Ask no more:

• President Barrack Obama
• Bill Clinton
• Prince William
• Marilyn Monroe
• Leonardo da Vinci
• Jimi Hendrix
• Tom Cruise
• Robert DeNiro
• Steve Young
• Larry Bird
