Have you ever heard that water spins the opposite direction down a drain in the southern hemisphere? That was going to be my next blog! Well I tested it and noticed that it was different in different situations (sink, toilet, cup of water with a hole in the bottom).So I looked it up. It's not true! Many other factors influence it much more than the Coriolos effect of the earth.
Hurricanes do spin the opposite direction - but something as piddly as bath water will spin based on how the tub, faucet, and drain are designed. Bummer - I was hoping to confirm this one personally.
It was also a bit embarrassing when the dishwasher lady walked in and caught me in the coffee room poking a hole in the bottom of my empty coffee cup.
