An Odd Fact About Stairs .....

 Just happened upon a brilliant little snippet of information here. (Please note that, as my cottage only has the one level, thus no stairs, I really have to take this on faith. But .....)

  " Most staircases are an odd number of steps to help keep people from stumbling. Most people are right handed, so they naturally step with the right foot first. So if the top of the stair was an even number they would be on their left foot. But their brain is used to telling the right foot to go first. So an odd staircase puts them back on the right foot. " 

 Now; my Bro's left handed. Never seen him tripping over at the top of the stairs. I guess a life time of going up them has just taught his brain to anticipate and compensate at the top then?

 Admit it: You didn't know this either, did ye? Better things to do than go about counting fucking stairs, eh? Figures .....
