The Coriolis Effect


And now the answer to the question that you've all been dying to know, but have been too prude to ask.
Does water go down the drain the opposite way in the southern hemisphere? You be the judge. 
Of course, to see it like we would, you'd either have to stand on your head or turn your screen upside down.
Happy swirling!

*of course, water goes clockwise & counter clockwise here, just like in the northern hemisphere.
If the Coriolis effect were strong enough to affect water draining, you'd be knocked off your feet by it.
