[extropy-chat] HISTORY: Solved & Unsolved Riddles

[Spike]

Ja I was a few days behind on my email from
a business trip.  Now I might hafta go again
next week.  {8-[  Guess I need to read
everything before I post anything.  {8-]

When I heard as a child that water always swirled 
the same way down the drain, I tried it and found
you can make it turn either way.  Im also 
suspicious of the notion that tornados turn
the same way in each hemisphere.  Those of
you who live near a hot desert may have
seen dust devils.  They tend to appear in
pairs, for some strange reason.  Question:
do they spin the same way, or counter-rotate?
