Apparently there is also a basketball player named Rik Smits. But this isn’t about him. It’s about a Dutch author of the same name. 

Reading through books on left-handedness for my school project can get kind of boring, but sentences like these from Rik Smits make everything worth it:

“He [Lord Baden-Powell] claimed he could keep on top of his office work only by regularly switching his writing hand and he regretted that as a child he had not practice writing about two different subjects at one. If for that reason alone, he cannot have been much of an intellectual. Even English lords have only one head...”

I almost laughed out loud in class and broke my quiet girl persona.
