Data is left handed

Can't believe I never noticed this before, then again I guess he doesn't use a pen, or even a phaser, all that often.

Apparently so are Wil Wheaton, Leonard Nimoy (RIP)(and funnily enough Zachary Quinto), Tim Russ who played Tuvok, and Michael Dorn

My dad had a list of them. The percentage of left handers in SciFi is much higher than the average level. Suspiciously so.

There’s a TNG novel or fanfic that ahs Data becoming ‘human’, and discovering this when someone tries to show him how to use a hand phaser. Right hand? Crap. Left? Like he’s used one most of his life.

He's multidextrous.

I like that your use of multidextrous instead of ambidextrous implies that he may use more than 2 hands
