In the northern hemisphere, when you drain water from the bath or sink or from any other vessel for that matter, the eddy circulates clockwise.
My question is :- In the southern hmisphere, does Eddy do it clockwise or anticlockwise ?

The bath/plug hole thing is a myth - despite the Simpson's.
However, I have noted something about groups.....
When I run Drama/Acting workshops in the northern hemisphere and ask the participants to just walk around the room, they tend to go in an anti-clockwise circle.
Antipodean participants when given the same instruction tend to walk in a clock-wise circle.
So it works with people because they are automatons, but not water coz it has free-will.
Fun, huh!

No, its just a myth, the water still goes down clockwise.

did you know that when your car spins of control north of the equator it spins clockwise and counterclockwise south of the equator.

depends how close to the equator he lives, eventually he goes down with no circling first.
