Coriolis Poll

It's granted that the Coriolis force has an effect on the circulation of air and water on the planet but many people also think that the force has an effect on sinks, wash basins, toilets, bathtubs and other tiny bodies of water.

The site Bad Coriolis argues that the Coriolis force has no bearing on whether sinks and toilets drain in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere and another direction in the Southern Hemisphere.

What do you think???
