Monday is my laundry day too, however I haven't folded the clothes yet...so I'm presently having a laundry crisis

Want more brain power? Who doesn't! But who knew it could be as simple as using your other hand to control your computer mouse?

By switching your mouse and mouse pad to the other side you'll be forcing yourself to use your non-dominant hand, which means all the information will go through your brain in a different way and the neurological connections between the two halves of your brain will get stronger. Research has shown that ambidextrous people have (on average) 10% more nerve fibers joining the two halves of their brain together.

I don't know about you, but my brain can use all the help I can give it -- more fibers and stronger connections? Yes, lets do that!

Very interesting....
Several months ago I switched my mouse to the other side of the keyboard because I'd heard something somewhere about it being good for your brain, yadda yadda, etc. It definitely took a while to get used to, and I am by no means ambidextrous, but by George, I can use the mouse with my left hand! I can feel my brain getting smarter already!
