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.

I took this travel bug while on a family trip in Connecticut.

As soon as I clean the sink, I will check which way the water flows when I pull the plug.

I will move it a little further north soon..

Had to grab this guy from the cache since it had the flag of Scotland on it. My ancestors are from West Wemyss. Laing, Johnson, and Dryburgh.
