Me - right-handed, left thumb on top
My husband - same

Cool experiment. Good luck, and don't forget to come back with a summary of the results!

Suspicious..of what? At worst, he and I could be blood-related, somewhere back down the line - a genetic factor. At best, a mere coincidence caused by the vageries of chance. :o)

Right handed...left thumb on top.

Just a side note...I shifted my fingers so that the right thumb would be on top and it just doesn't feel right at all to me.

I can do that too.....and also write mirror like da Vinci....Always thought it had to do with the fact I was late in developing a dominate hand. BTW am in my "right" mind according to my eye Dr. But am right handed. It's hereditary on my mother's side.

This is an extremely poorly designed experiment that shows nothing relating to handedness.

The thumb on top depends strictly on how you lace your fingers...regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed, blue-eyed or whether you had corn flakes for breakfast.

Lace your fingers with the left little finger in the bottom position. Now your right thumb is on top.

Lace your fingers with the right little finger in the bottom position. Now your left thumb is on top.

This survey may measure gullibility but it certainly does not measure traits related to handedness. Either the poster is pulling our chain , the exercise is measuring gullibility or the science education in the education racket is even stupider that I think it is.

AHA! It wasn't the good Captain, it was Danny Kaye!

Ah! That makes sense!

I think we may have had an old record with Danny Kaye telling stories. Could that be?

Agreed, this has nothing to do with handedness, but rather how a person has been interlacing their hands since childhood. Although not apparent, the fingers develop their own molding and grooves to fit together as a person this over the years.

Suggestion: try this experiment with very small children and see if they can vary it more easily.

Left handed and right thumb on top.

My science project in elementary school's theme was about the Balance of Nature. I stuck various amounts of algae plants in jars with various amounts of snails. All but one of the jars became funky, while the snail with alot of algae thrived. I won my school's first place and then went on to the state competition, but I think some fancy very original volcane landed first place.
