Things you often Wonder

Just saw an item on TV  pointing out that squirrels are either right- or left- 'handed', I wonder how many species have  right- and left-handedness? And whether right is predominant, as it is in humans? We used to have a cat that was definitely left-pawed - she struggled to open doors that were hinged the 'wrong' way, while her right-pawed brother did them with ease.

There was that myth that all polar bears are left handed (left pawed?). That did the rounds for quite a while before it was dismissed as incorrect.

In Neil Young's song "Alabama", he sings: "Your Cadillac has got one wheel in the ditch, and a wheel on the track". 

Where are the other two wheels? 

that will teach him to drive it to Liverpool

I support the Packers who I've decided are the Villa.

Steeped in tradition, early front runners racking up many early titles and being most successful for a number of years.  Followed by countless years of mediocrity with two massive semi recent stand alone successes.

Are the New England Patriots the Man United of American football. Everyone seems to support them. 

I think so. Many parallels with Fergie's team in the fact they often don't have the best squad but they find a way to win. What they have done over the years is outstanding. You don't get dominant forces in he NFL for a long period of time... the set up isn't designed for that but they seem to be there or thereabouts every year.

I also think the Browns can be thought of as Villa-eque as well. Traditional power, steeped in history and been managed with the skill of an untrained chimp in the last 10 years or so!
