Nope. Statistically it's likely to be your younger siblnigs! Same with, and this is posibly controversial, the gene that affects your sexuality.

Apparently, both mutations from the norm are quite near each other on the strand of whatever it is that makes you, you.

Think I got these nuggets from:

From my own research I have discovered that those of a sinister disposition are more likely to be more intelligent, better looking & more modest than the dextrous souls out there. ;o)

Just had a glimpse of your future, there'll be a Sunday roast with all the trimmings, and in passing you'll just happen to mention this to your family. It will be then that your parents reveal the "family secret"!

FWIW: Steer clear of the Salmon Mousse.

I don't want to be 'cured', I'm very happy being a lefty, and to be classed as dyslexic as well!
Just because I think in a different way to the boring majority..........
There is far too much left brain thinking in the world!!!!!!!!!!
