About 10-15% of the population is left-handed. Why is this so? Genetically, it's likely due to a gene called NRH (“non-right-handed”) which has a 50% chance of making people left-handed (and also has a 50% chance of making your hair spiral counterclockwise!).
There has been a lot of interesting research on handedness in the last decade.
Left-handers' brains are structured differently from right-handers' in ways that can allow them to process language, spatial relations and emotions in more diverse and potentially creative ways. Also, a slightly larger number of left-handers than right-handers are especially gifted in music and math. It is believed that these abilities are due to increased communication between the brain hemispheres, and the ability to use both sides of the brain at once when processing stimuli.
People throughout history have incorrectly thought that left-handedness was a demonic curse or learning disability that must be corrected.
Some famous left-handed people;
Leonardo da Vinci, Drew Barrymore, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Keanu Reeves, Chewbacca the Wookie, Harpo Marx, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Winston Churchill, Babe Ruth, Martina Navratilova, James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.

National Chocolate Souffle Day celebrates a delightfully delicious dessert on February 28th each year.
The word souffle is the past participle of the French verb souffler, which means “to blow up” or more loosely “puff up” which describes a souffle perfectly. A souffle is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites that are combined with other ingredients to make the dish either a savory main dish or a sweet dessert.
Two essential components make up every souffle.
1. a French creme patisserie base/flavored cream sauce or puree
2. egg whites beaten to a soft peak meringue
A souffle gets its flavor from the base, and the egg whites provide the lift to puff it up. A variety of cheeses, jams, fruits, or chocolates can be baked into the base of the souffle. Many souffle bakers like to puncture the top of the souffle after removing it from the oven. Then they pour mouth-watering sauces onto it, such as chocolate, vanilla, or for a savory flavor cheese and herbs.
