Ever wondered why most spiral staircases turn right as they ascend?

That’s because right-handed knights could better defend the castles (who had the staircases) against invaders as they climb up the stairs.

What about left-handed knights? No wonder left-handed people live shorter, if that’s the case. Man. Imagine an empty can of tuna tumbling down the stairs and then multiply that with ten. That must’ve been some racket.@_@
