The Coriolis Effect.

The Coriolis Effect is a lie!

We've all heard the horror stories.
You're innocently interning in a strange hemisphere when you feel the need to relieve yourself.  The restroom seems harmless enough.  It's clean and there is a fresh roll of toilet paper in your stall.  You complete nature's duties and activate the flush.  And that's when it happens.
The water is circling the wrong way!
Intense vertigo hits as you struggle to comprehend how this could have happened.  You fall to your knees like a freshman girl at a frat party.  The cold porcelain provides no comfort or shelter from the onslaught of doubt that assaults your shattered mind.
What am I doing here?
Is any of this real?
Am I real?
Did I leave the oven on?
Your world goes spiraling out of control and you are left there on the bathroom floor muttering nonsense to yourself.  Just a dried up heap of what used to be a creative mind.

But don't worry.

It's just a myth.  

The hemisphere has nothing to do with which way water flows down a drain.

It's okay.

The water can only hurt you if you drink it.
