Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 24 [ The postman hits! --More-- ] [ You have new mail. ] In making a list of activities where being left-handed can be an advantage, don't forget bowling! (At the professional level, or at least the competitive level.) Since lefties are a minority, the left half of the lane gets less use, and therefore (a) the oil pattern on the lane is less spotty; and (b) the wooden surface itself is less worn. In both cases, this produces a more consistent and predictable lane to bowl on. Sad to say, I'm a natural leftie who learned how to bowl (sob) right-handed. What a waste! My average left-handed is still better than one might expect, though, and friends tell me that I "look" much better when I bowl left-handed than when I bowl right-handed, despite the score!
