Left-handed people smarter

Are left-handed people smarter?

Yep. According to researcher Alan Searleman, southpaws have higher IQs, solve problems better and enjoy more extensive vocabularies than righties. Lefty cases in point: Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, for starters. Not to mention every U.S. president since 1981, except this one.

Take heart, righties: Searleman's study also found that lefties have worse memories than their right-handed peers.

Bonus question: Which hand does Barack Obama favor?
