True - but that depend on the size of your bath / toilet / whatever :)
But of more importance to me, it does affect the rotation of winds around high pressure systems.
As a side note, it has often been said that people lost in the desert tend to walk around in circles. Would that rotation direction also be coriolis determined?

Don't believe everything you read there, either :)
I noticed that in language/year abbreviations it says
A.U.C. somewhere and explains it like so :
"(_anno urbis conditae_, "in the year of the building of the city" i.e., Rome, in 753 B.C.)"
This is not true, the abbreviation was always used in the following way, which makes more sense linguistically. :
"ab urbe condita", which means : From/after the building of the city. IE this many years after april 21th 753 B.C.
References? Read some Caecar/Plinus/Cicero/Livius, untranslated. Especially Titus Livius.
Hmm..I think I'm going to mail this to those guys. I was just browsing some of the stuff there, but this irritated me somehow.
"Let's not include text here.."
