I found this and had to pass it on, which way does water drain at the Equator? (power, video)

I ain't going to tell you.....

Interesting. I take it the gal was a skeptic.

I can make water in my kitchen sink drain whichever way, depending on which side of the drain I have the water running.

Interesting video.

I'll bet his pee goes to the left or right too.
Silly stunt, but if it impresses the girls...

Giving it my best Streep imitation,
"I had a drain in Africa"

Coriolis forces do not apply in small scales. Details of the container and initial conditions dominate. Drains swirl in whatever direction they are started.

Samantha Brown did this in, I believe Ecuador.

Edit: Googled this. What she did wasn't what I remembered. Never mind.

I'm going to guess clockwise, since the water generally empties on an angle that direction anyway. In fact, I'm willing to bet just about every toilet would do that unless someone's been making funny toilets.

Let's see how right Iam.

Results: Well...why in the world was I expecting a toilet?

Because British reporters are not shielded from suits by the powers that be and have become adept at reporting pap and calling it news?

It seems like most news networks are just entertainment masquerading as news.
