I could tell you about the power of PZ, and how since writing his post last week the numbers have gone from 40/60 to 5/95, but I'd rather tell you the one thing that every lefty knows: God is right-handed.
Thanks a lot -- on behalf of all lefties -- for the reminder, big guy.

The left/right should be indistinguishable from the 2D projection. I initially saw a right hand as well, but I can get it to 'flip' like a necker cube. Science!

Don't be daft, its a foot of an ape, not a hand.

I think that it is a foot. A right foot. It's obvious; you can see the lateral malleolus clearly. But I hate feet; have ever since I didn't get past the knee in human anatomy in university (it was the last thing taught before the final exam), and then the main written essay question was on the bones of the foot.

Its really god's hand so everyone be ready to face him.
