Hi Joe,
There are tricks there, such as egg-balancing on watching the water go down the sink in different directions - supposedly induced by the coriolis effect.
This tells you all you need to know; it's not science, it's just a tourist spectacle.
I once kept a tally on my bathroom mirror to count how many times the sink water went each way. I've met a few well-travelled people who've seen that trick in Ecuador and believe it. Strangely, they can never remember if it's supposed to be clockwise N and anti S, or vice-versa.
Cheers, Phil. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
