An American was planning an extended trip to Australia and asked, via a chat forum, whether his electrical equipment would work over there. The short answer is yes, provided there are no problems with voltage mismatches. But somebody, just for fun, decided to say, "The Coriolis Effect will make your CDs spin the wrong way." The American bought this and asked whether there were any devices he could buy to correct the problem. A number of people, my colleague included, jumped onto the bandwagon with various suggestions. Eventually somebody took pity on the poor guy and admitted it was all a joke. The response? "How do you expect me to know it's a joke if you don't use a sarcastic smiley?"
You've got to love that one. Especially if you're smart enough to know that the thing this is based on (Coriolis Effect causes water to run the wrong way down the plughole) is a load of crap too.

It depends on whichever way the water was spinning when you added it.

well if the "hot" tap is on the left it flows to the right and vice versa for cold.
y'know, I remember watching an episode of the Xfiles that featured theis phenonmumnimmum. I sat there thinking why the water was flowing backwards in my bathroom sink. Only noticed afterwards Mauldy had been drinking from a water fountain with a single, centrally placed tap....
