You would think that it's the other way around then on the Northern Hemisphere. (Due to the Coriolis Force), but (from http://www.jimloy.com/science/shower.htm): The Coriolis "force" does tend to make this happen. But, there are other forces going on, including the bends in the pipes leading to the faucet, and how you stirred the water, while sitting in and getting out of the tub. I suspect that the Coriolis effect is less important than other effects. I haven't performed this experiment. :) Derick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl/ JDI Media Solutions http://www.jdimedia.nl/ International PHP Magazine http://www.php-mag.net/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------
