Clasp This

How do you fold your hands together?  We were discussing this at dinner the other day...personally, my right thumb is on top, but both of my parents are lefties (when it comes to finger-crossing, at least).

Apparently there is evidence for a cultural bias with regard to this.  An article - in a scholarly journal, no less, indicates that for arm-crossing (not the same thing, but close...) right-handed Europeans are dominantly left arm on top.  Although It's not tied to handedness, either.  Who knew?

Bleh my fingers feel weird the other way around.
