Virtually all circular activities are done to the left, from foot races to airport flying patterns. It seems to be wired into our brains to turn left.

Which has always struck me as odd. When I come to a fork in the road and don't know which way to go, I always choose the RIGHT turn. That way I'm always "right"!
