Obscure fact...

Recommended Posts

The last member of the famous Bonaparte family, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, died in 1945, of injuries sustained from tripping over his dog's leash.


Talk about one hell of a way to finish off the last of a family... :$

Over 2500 left handed people are killed each year from using products made for right handed people.

I am left handed and when I skydive I (like the most of us) use my right hand when I pull. I do not know if I could do a better job if my pilot chute was on my left side.


Nor do I, but you could certainly screw up a right-handed friend by lending them your rig! :)
I'm curious now. I guess this would be a pretty easy mod for a rigger, but do any of the major manufacturers offer it as an option? People sometimes report such stiff pulls that I wonder whether using their 'inferior' hand would have stopped them from being able to pull at all.

Not trying to get this moved to 'Gear and Rigging'. Just curious.

the only female to have ever been awarded the medal of honor was Mary Edwards Walker

Quote

Her Medal of Honor citation begins simply "Rank and organization: Contract Acting Assistant Surgeon (civilian)..." and goes on to list her accomplishments while assisting Union and Confederate casualties. Who was the only woman and only civilian to be recognized for her achievement on the field of battle with a Medal of Honor?

Mary Edwards Walker grew up in rural New York and graduated from Syracuse Medical College in 1855. At this time women were...

That would suck if you were out drinking and a cop stopped you. You are walking along the road...

"You look intoxicated. Where are you going?"
"I live nearby. I am walking home."
"What is your name?"
"Ummm... George... George Smith."

You tell him Napoleon Bonaparte and it's a trip to the hospital until you become rational.

Animation artists love inside jokes. In the Disney film Beauty and the Beast (1991), the road signs that Belle?s father encounters in the forest show the names of two California cities: one points to Anaheim, while the other points down a dark, sinister-looking path to Valencia. In truth, Anaheim is the site of Disneyland, while the rival Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement theme park is in the city of Valencia.

I had a friend who lived in a housing addition named "Enchanted Hills". All the streets in the neighborhood were named after childrens stories.

One night he was out drinking and got stopped by a cop. The cop was not amused when he asked what street the guy lived on, and got the answer: "Humpty Dumpty Lane".

Afterward my friend commented he was so thankful he didn't live on the next street over: "Three Little Pigs".

It could be done, but being trained on right handed rigs, and then having to transition to the other side. Since you allready have the muscle memory for the right handed pull you might as well stick with it. You wouldn't want to lose alti awareness, and then try to pull with your right hand low.
