Verily, some of our brethren (and sistren) be afflicted with a sinister disposition. While the righteous scroll using the thumb of their right hand - as is good and proper - an accurs'd minority swing the other way. Look, you try writing an interesting bug report without sounding like a clanker, OK! I try to optimise my blog as much as possible. It may not look like much, but it has got it…
I at first was assuming this post was to be about natural selection and the reasons for the current prevalence of right handed people.
Like today’s uneven distribution of blood types caused by different susceptibility to some diseases in former time, like e.g. the evolutionary advantage blood type 0 gives you against Malaria.
So I was initially very confused when the author started rambling about the design of his Wordpress blog instead… 😆
What evolitionary pressure could there be for left- vs. right-handedness? I’d rather think it’s some obscure genetic placement mechanism, that one gets read earlier and overwrites the other in 90% of cases or something.

That’s exactly why I was initially so intrigued by the heading:
“What on earth could be the mechanism that a bug could have caused this??”
But then I realized we were talking about entirely different kinds of bugs… ;-)
