| Obviously this isn't PPC related at all, but since we've got a great
| collection of regulars here from around the globe, I thought I'd take a
| shot- I'm looking for some help for my son from someone with a sense of
| humor and a child roughly the same age as mine, give or take a few
years...
|
| I'm "up" here in the Northern Hemisphere, and my 9-year old son is doing a
| school Science Fair project on the Coriolis Effect (that causes storms to
| rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the
| Southern) and the myth that this also causes small sinks, toilets,
| bathtubs, etc. to always drain the same way in their respective
hemispheres.

like this?

| Inspired by an episode of "The Simpsons" where Bart calls an Australian
| student collect and asks him to check his (and his neighbors') toilets to
| see which direction they drain there, my son thought it would be
| interesting to compare his findings with a student in the Southern
| Hemisphere as to which direction the various sinks, etc. drain in his or
| her house to compare to ours.
|
| Anyway, he and I were hoping we could find a "foreign correspondent" from
| the Southern Hemisphere, around 7-12 years old or so, who wouldn't mind
| filling/draining and or flushing the various sinks, basins, tubs, toilets,
| etc. in their house noting which direction the water spirals down the
| plughole, and report the findings to support or refute my son's
hypothesis.
| If you've got a willing school-aged child, you can reply to me by e-mail,
| (replace "AmericaOnLine" in my address with it's better-known and maligned
| three-letter acronym!)
|
| Thanks in advance for any possible help, and I apologize to the group for
| the (far) off-topic post!


can't help sorry, no offspring but I'll pass it on :)
