Driving on the left
originally, everyone drove (well, rode horses) on the left side of the road, for two reasons: 1)People tend to mount horses on the left, and its safer not to be mounting your horse in the middle of the road
2)If your right handed, then in a fight you want people to be to the right of you, which they would be if you were on the left of the road.

Most of the countries in europe that drive on the left were, at some point, conquered by Napoleon, who insisted on it (I forget why).

I dont know why America drive on the right. Probably just to be awkward.

Also, in times of old when people still went at each other with swords, left handed people were feared, as they were superior fighters. This is because most people would be used to fighting right handed people. So, in a fight between a left handed person and a right handed person, the left handed person would be used to the fighting style, while the right handed person would be all confused.


Oh, and as for the elbow licking thing, I find it dubious. Im only a few milimeters off, and theres people out there with much longer tounges than me.

EDIT:I knew it! Ruddy americans. As bad as Napoleon, the lot of em. Cheers sky blue sam!
