He’s left-handed. ---

I have it on good authority (my arse) that he is right-handed. If you joined he and Cecil together, they’d therefore be ambidextrous (yes, we read the column as well). ---

Yes, **DMC** obviously correctly understands why I asked! So he understands (and I assume he must agree) why the question is so important! ---

Of course, two completely unrelated people can both be left-handed, so I’m not sure what is to be gained by knowing. 🙂 ---

It’s like that episode of _Star Trek_ when they were in the mirror universe, right? ---

Thanks for that. I think. In any case, again, **Ed Zotti** is left-handed. ---

Not only that, but Ed Zotti has two ears (one on each side of his head) and SO DOES CECIL. Furthermore, he has two eyes, one on each side of the top of his nose, and his mouth is below his nose, JUST LIKE CECIL. Uncanny. ---
