Being Left Handed

15% of the people in the world are left handed. There are advantages and disadvantages to being left handed. You say that right handed people are better or that left handed people are better you have to look at the stats. some of the advantages are that left handed people who graduate college are 26% richer than right handed. left handed people are better at video games, true fact. Another big stat is that lefty's lifespan is nine years shorter that right handed. It's harder to find left handed utensils.And there are disadvantages too, left handed people are 3 times more likely to become alcoholics, that's a big stat out of the last five presidents three of them have been left handed (Obama, Clinton, Bush Sr.). Four out of the original 5 creators of Mac's were left handed. 40% of the top tennis players are left handed.

There is a left handed day on August 13th

Some weird things about 9/11

First off this isn't a conspiracy, these are just some weird facts that I had came across. First and probably everyone knows this, is that 9/11 is the same as our emergency number 911 (9+1+1=11) . But what a lot of people don't know is this New York City has 11 letters, Afghanistan has 11 letters, George W Bush has 11 letters, Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters (he was a terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers 8 years before). But that's not all... New York is the 11th state, the 1st plane to hit the tower was flight 11, flight 11 had 92 passengers 9+2=11, the other flight had 65 passengers 6+5=11, the total number of victims inside the planes was 254 2+5+4=11, September 11th is the 254 day in the year 2+5+4=11. Well here is something to do and see if you understand. 

1) Go to Microsoft Word

2) Type in Q33 NY (in all caps, its the flight number of the 1st plane to his the twin towers)

3) Change the font bigger to 48 or bigger (so you can see)

4) Change the font to Wingdings

The Internet

Well to start off the internet is a powerful thing that allows millions of people a day connect to each other and preform some of their daily tasks and job requirements. With out the internet the would would be at a stand still, economy would crash within days. But on a small scale level it can be quite annoying if you lose connection even if for a short time. I believe that the worst part is technical support. For example about an hour ago i found out my internet wasn't working right as i was about to start my blog. I called up AT&T and was on hold for 35 minutes before i was able to talk to someone, when i did i was talking to a man that barley spoke English and im pretty sure it was his first day working too. I told him about my problem and he put me on hold for another 5 minutes, when he got back he told me to restart my computer, so I did. When it still wasn't working when it turned on he told me to try something else, I did, nothing happened. This went on for another 20 minutes until finally he said "how about this, i will just fix it on my computer". I was not happy when he said that because by then I had been on the phone with AT&T for almost an hour. As soon as it was fixed I hung up, I wasn't going to fill out a for that said he did good. So all in all losing the internet can be very frustrating. losing the internet can be a frustrating thing, can you imagine not being able to use the internet at all? You couldn't check on your fantasy teams or check Facebook or use spark notes or even be able to do this blog homework.

Should America switch to the Metric system?

The thing is, is that the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia are the only countries in the whole world that still use the "English system". That's it, just three countries. Myanmar is to the east of India and Liberia is on the western coast of Africa, and of course United States right between the North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean.On the other hand there is the more widely used Metric system, it is more widely used because it is used by every other country besides the 3 that uses the English system. So why is the U.S. one of the biggest and most popular countries in the world not up-to-date with everyone one else? There are many reasons why the U.S. should switch to the metric system. some of them include that most of scientists world wide use the metric system and things could be lost in the confusing conversions between the two different systems. Another is the conversions themselves " Instead of having to remember that there are 12 inches in a foot, three feet in a yard, and 5280 feet to a mile, you just have to remember that there are 10 millimeters to a centimeter, 10 centimeters to a decimeter, and 10 decimeters to a meter" (Sean Ronney).

This video was banned in 2005. Although Microsoft never officially said why their video was never aired, there has been some speculation that the ad was too close to many mass shootings around the world. It is a video of people in the subway using imaginary guns with imaginary bullets in an unrealistic scenario.  Since then there has been other videos that have been more plausible. 

In this video Microsoft uses civilian dressed actors to show that “there’s a solder in all of us”. This is an aired commercial for their new game Call of Duty: Black Opps. In it there are civilians using realistic weapons with explosion going off in a realist battle scenario. What has changed in the past 6 years that would allow Microsoft to air a commercial that if in 2005 would be banned?
