I just noticed something. All AVs are left handed. Edit an object see which hand your AV uses. This is something of a statistical anomoly. It would be a cool feature to be able to set whether you are left or right handed.

LOL I never noticed before.

But then again I *am* left handed, so I guess it just looked natural to me

Hmmm... maybe us righties need a checkbox where we can specify our handedness. Or better yet, ambidextrous avatars -- why not use the closest arm? Or both... yeah, a two handed grab.

Anybody know which foot steps first ;) ?

Keep in mind....."left" handers use their "right" mind.

After cutting with right handed scissors all my life, I would like to thank the (lefted handed?)Linden who did this.

Funny...the avatar was actually designed to be right handed. The left hand is used when selecting things so your right hand is free to do everything else (wave, point, shake your fist). The idea being we didn't want a big selection beam coming out of your dominant hand as it was trying to do something else.

Think of the selection beam as your knife. Your right hand is then free to use a fork...
