The coriolis effect and how small it is

[Boboclown]

The water has to sit still long enough to settle, be a big enough body of water, and have no forces acting on the water. So no worries, if American toilets take a vacation in Australia they will still flush the right way, because the jets will make them flush that way.

Nothing a little coriolis windage won't fix.

And I've been so worried about this. TIC

It seems to me the Corleones had a lot more force a few years ago.

I've been told that.....
Besides eating strange foods while visiting countries that are along on the equator. You could also.....just play with water.

The equator is where the coriolis effect would be strongest. Everywhere else, a sink can drain in either direction.

You can balance an egg at any latitude. Given what Destin just showed us, that basin is probably effected far more by how well it's leveled than Coriolis, given its size.

Boboclown and Flopsweat,

I'd just be a tourist. So what do I care? As long as the poop goes down the toilet. LOL.

But then IF.....
I ever make it down there.....
I heard the Guinea Pig was tasty. Or was that in Peru?

Aloha, Mark

You wouldn't travel with your own toilet to install down there?

I used to have a camp toilet, but I misplaced it one day. I didn't take it well. I completely lost my $#1+.

No need to have a flush toilet with you.....when this is good almost anywhere.
And leaves can substitute, when no TP is available. Not to mention that....just "dirt/sand" has been know to be effective too.

But does it go clockwise or counterclockwise?

Mentos to the rescue.

Reminds me of an old Hawaiin joke. You know in Hawaii we don't have snakes. So people from Hawaii don't know much about snakes. And BTW......they refer to a snake as a "dry land puhi" (puhi = eel).

So what's the joke?

OK, Ok, ok......so Kimo and Moki were in the jungle walking the trail to Diamond Head. And Kimo asked Moki where he could pee. Moki said that when he was in the Army in Viet Nam.......he would just whip it out and pee in the bushes. Kimo not stupid. So, he asked, ""What if one dry land puhi went bite your da kine?" Moki's response was, "Yeah....that's when you find out who your real friends are".

Aloha, Mark
