edit - I stand corrected; apparently it's a myth. http://www.discovery.com/area/skinnyon/skinnyon970523/skinny1.html The Coriolis Force affects large-scale rotations like storms, but not potties. Go figure.

I'm not sure. I knew a girl from New Zealand who moved to America and we asked her and she ran off to watch the toilet flushing and then realised that she didn't know which way it spiralled in NZ! It drove her crazy...
