Flushing the toilet

Today i visited the Equator. Early last century some frenchies came down, made some measurements decided the exact spot for the equator. A monument was built, some restaurants and everyone was happy. About ten years ago, westeners came back with some better tools (GPS) and decided that the original location was about 200m off...so they built a museum that showcases the actual equator. I visited both, just in case they decide to change their mind again. One great trick they do on the actual equator (this may be a hoax...but seemed very real to me) is take a simple metal sink...fill it with water and pull the plug while it sits on the equator line...the water just flushes down without making a swirl. Then they move the same sink to either side of the equator, refill it with the same water, pull the plug and it drains swirling in different directions. Its friday, fiesta tonight!
