President James Garfield, who was our first left-handed president*, could write with both hands at the same time in two different languages. In one hand he would write Ancient Greek, and in the other he would write Latin!
*President Garfield actually may have been ambidextrous. He may have been either, that part will have to be corrected by another contributor.
