Any reports here would not be enough of a sample to be statistaclly significant.

And this has actually been done before, including thousands if not hundreds of thousands of reports.

That particular survey only proved what I originally stated.

The water can rotate in either direction and the statistical results indicate the situation to be more one of random chance than any other phenomenon.

As for mentioning the strength of a particular force that might or might not be affecting the water circulation direction, well, water is a rather dense chunk of matter and it would take quite a lot of energy to actually change its direction...

Mac,

you're preaching to the choir. I already knew that all toilets in a hemisphere don't really flush the same direction. I expect nearly everybody who's spent much time online knows, as that information gets circulated by email quite often. I reference it in a forum of friends not for the purpose of making an empirically correct statement, but because internet truisms are amusing (especially when I figure everybody else already gets the joke)

For future reference, when what I'm saying comes across as the words of a pompous know-it-all who's just wrong, you can bet its spoken with tongue planted firmly in cheek. It's my nature to kick goofy ideas around for fun.

I'm just curious to hear how the evidence manifests in a random cross section of toilets around the world. I know it doesn't meet the requirements of a statistically valid test. I just want to see how the results shake down.
