If you live in an apt building directly on top of the equator, you live in thenorth side and your firend lives on the south, do your toilets flush in different directions still, the same direction or straight down?

please don't tell me you actually believe everything in "Wikipedia" to be fact...I should go in and edit some of it myself to really mess with some of you

no, its true!! while vacationing in sunny, tropical alaska, which is waaay south of the 'quator, when i flushed, the entire bowl shot upwards onto the ceiling! gravity has no place there.
actually, i dont care which way it flushes, just as long as it all goes down b4 the cops bust thru the door

If you live in an apartment building directly over the equator, your toilets don't work. It is an impoverished area. If you did get them to work, they would flush in different directions, which would be very entertaining. This is a good thing, because there ain't no way you are ever going to get cable.

ROFLOLOL--
I went to Brazil with some friends on Spring Break about 20 years ago.
We went to go test it as soon as we got the to hotel room. We stood around the bowl, flushed, watched the water go down-- and none of us could remember which way it went in the Northern Hemisphere!
So I still really have no idea if that's true or not! LOL

tricky...i have no scientific or personal proof to answer the question about directly on top of the equator, but the water goes down according to gravitational pull so northern hemisphere does go down in an opposite direction than southern hemisphere, but directly on top of the equator?? maybe they have to have a swirl mechanism to get it going around...i dont know...I will fly out tomorrow and try to get yo an answer :)

Toilets all flush the same way, no matter where you live. Nice try though. ~lol~

If you live north or south of the equator.
Counter clockwise south.

Same. Toilet design controls direction not equator.
