About This Item

new plug

One of the many unresolved mysteries of (my) life is which direction the little maelstrom rotates that is created when you flush the toilet or pull the plug in the sink. Now there has already been a lot of research on this topic, suggesting that the coriolis force might force the direction to be clockwise on the southern and anticlockwise on the northern hemisphere. Others claim that this is complete rubbish.
This TB is my small contribution to the debate. Please conduct the experiment carefully and post the results on this page with your log.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 3/6/2006 valliantknight grabbed it   Visit Log

Found this little fellow in Point of View cache GCKGW7. Probably not logged by previous holders. Surprise that it has the copy tag on it not the usual travel tag. On a scientific note the water in my castle goes straight down and then turns left as the lad carrying the bucket goes round the corner and through the gate!!
