Bummer? We'll finally get that hour back. Summer time is one of the worst inventions ever.

OK, now I'm confused. Do people in the southern hemisphere move it forward?

Yes, and the closer they are to the South Pole the more they move their clocks forward. At the South Pole itself it will be a week from today.

Because it means I have to get up an hour earlier in the morning during summer time. I'd rather get up a few hours later.

That depends on your geographic position from the pole itself, magnetic variation being different from various locations.

I think it's all determined by the direction that water swirls down the drain. I don't think they do anything in certain parts of Arizona. Does the water just go straight down the drain in AZ? What about toilets? Does the same northern/southern hemisphere thing apply to swirling water in toilets, or is it just drains? Maybe the swirling thing is just an urban legend. I don't know. My head hurts.

Nope, not an urban legend, it be a fact!

The swirl in the drain is dependent on the direction of the user's cowlick.

So, does the same apply to toilets? I assume it does.

Word.
