What about those little twirly helicopter things that fall off trees? Do the same rule apply to them as well?

If you could fly around the earth, East to West, faster than the earth is rotating, you go back in time zones (it gets earlier), so does that mean you can go back in time?

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.

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.

It all depends on the sink/toilet, not the hemisphere.

Queensland, Australia voted against using Summer Time because their curtains would fade faster if they adopted it.

Carl Cox dj'ed in Sydney to ring in the New Millenium, and then travelled to Fiji (I think, maybe Hawai) to play there to ring in the New Millenium.

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

Word.
Not sure. I believe so if they are level, must be. Same for sinks. Weather 101. Just like storms turn counter-clockwise in the north and clockwise in the south.....I dont think it matters even if the appliances are not level, because water seeks level anyway🙂
