I wonder why so many right-handers have their left thumb on top?

I seem to be one of the few that is both right-handed and right thumb on top.

I tried having my left thumb on top and that just feels really freaky.

I'm right hand, right thumb, too. At work, I'm an engineer (computer programmer). But I tend to be the one who comes up with the strange analogies and weird connections and out of box thinking. The straight linear thinking of some engineers seem flat to me.

I wonder if there's a connection between these.

Maybe to protect the hand they use?

I don't really know, just guessing.

I wonder why so many right-handers have their left thumb on top?

When I fold my hands it's stems back from how the nuns 'taught' us how to fold our hands way back when.

I tried having my left thumb on top and that just feels really freaky.

And I'm just the opposite...right thumb on top makes the universe out of sync...
Perhaps just an apprehension that a smack of a ruler may be imminent. ;)
