Dragan,

I did think about putting in an option for Cut it all up and eat, but I didn't. You don't bust the model but so far you are an outlying data point. *L*

I've tried a little to do things left handed, but not real seriously. It bugs the heck out of me to go to a leftie's computer and try to use the mouse. The movement of the pointer isn't bad, but for some odd reason the button clicks seem way strange.

>Whenever I eat something that needs to be cut first, I usually turn the plate to get it to the position where I get the easiest manouvering for the knife and fork. So I figure it'd be a minus pi quarter turn (aka 45 degrees clockwise), then cut the corner that's closest. Did I bust your model?

>>2) Are you right or left handed?
>>a) Right
>>b) Left

>Right, sometimes voluntarily left. At some point, in my college years, I thought I shouldn't be just helpless if something happened to my right hand, so I started practicing my left. Sometimes I write better with my left, specially on a black or white board - which helped me a lot when I was teaching. No matter where I stand at the blackboard, I don't have to turn my back on the class :).

>And even my kids have practiced to switch knife and fork, just for kicks. I did that once while sitting across a colleague who's a born leftie forced into a rightie. She noticed that our knives were on the same side, so she thought she had a lapse-into-left again, so she switched - but so did I at the same time. When she glanced at my hands, she saw that we had knives on the same side again... and just quit eating. I felt really bad that the joke took such a nasty turn, but then didn't know what to say to her. At least I've learned to respect the trouble those born lefties go through when they're forced to go righty. And there's still a few things I can't do with the other hand - for one, I can't unbutton my shirt with my right hand, and am utterly clumsy if the mouse is in my left.
