I'm gonna lodge a complaint about number 25 though. All of the merry-go-rounds I've ever been on turn both ways. :rolleyes:

Oh, we were discussing that here...It actually means the 'forward' direction...You know, the direction in which the horses are pointing...

12/25 :o

ok rayne......I forgive you :p

Thank you so much...Now all is right with the world:D





Gotta go make a bottle...I'm out for a bit...Catch you guys later:)

16 right

13 correct

That's BS, it doesn't matter what side of the equator you're on. It can drain either way depending on a number of things.

none
correction i got 2/25 i feel so special

Hmm...I can neither confirm or deny that...Anyway...

It's good to 'see' ya, Kemal...Been a while :)

Yea what she said

...
 

That's true.

Re: ...
 

We're still testing it in the 'flush' thread :)


Although...Sam's penis has thrown the whole thing off track a bit...

Let me see if I can fix it...

Re: Re: Re: ...
 

Nah...It isn't about 'bragging'...It's actually just funny

And it isn't necessarily a 'positive' attribute...It's almost more of a deformation...Poor Sam has to endure so much because of it...


:D

I'm pretty sure that's not BS. It has to do with the Earth's gravitational pull, which is why it's opposite depending on which side of the equator you're on.


Obviously, there are ways to change the water flow in the opposite direction, but this isn't asking which way it flows after you set up a scientific experiment to change the flow of water.

Well, regardless of the 'water turning' question, and the fact that the questions ARE more difficult for anyone who is NOT in America...I am happy to see that ALL of us here at Horror.Com scored above, if not FAR above the average person...Hmmm...I wonder if that means that horror fans pay closer attention to details than the average person...Or...Maybe we're just smarter...heh...*Is proud*:) :cool:

Well, this is what a lot of people think causes it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect

Re: ...
 

Firstly, wikipedia is not a legitimate source of information as it is all user maintained and thereby prone to error. (Not that their definition looks wrong or anything, I just don't give wikipedia any credit because of it's fallability.)

Secondly, from what they are saying, in order to make the water go in a reverse direction, you would basically need to set up a science experiment, which wasn't what we were being asked. If you go flush any random toilet or fill any random sink in the northern hemisphere, it'll drain the same way.

*cough IMDB ;)

Re: Re: ...
 

BR's toilet drains clockwise, while ours drain counter clockwise. Explain that one, huh. :D
