Anne ... Good-O!

What a wonderful way to combine good science
and something that just feels so good!

Will await the results of the experement!
Of course, it would be in the interest of accuracy, to
perform this more than once!

Keep me posted.
Garry

After repeating the experiment twice in its entirety and once in a rudementary effort, I have come up with consistent conclusions.

The experiments in the entirety were performed by yours truly by filling a two-litre hot water bottle with warm water and a 15ml (1/2 ounce) of Dr. Bronner's Castille, connecting a Higginson pump inline, filling the tub with hot water and some bath salts then immersing myself and my enema set. I lay the hot water bottle on my tummy and, very gently over a quarter hour, squeezed the contents into my colon. Bewteen peristaltic surges, I climbed out of the tub, hurriedly but carefully dried myself then pulled the plug. My next step was to get on the pot and, whilst enjoying a magnificently sizable empty-out, watching the tub drain. In both cases, the whirlpool ran anti-clockwise.

Next, after washing my breakfast dishes, I watched the whirlpool as the sink drained and it, too, ran anti-clockwise.

Of course, I'd not be offended if any of my colleagues here, especially those in the northern hemisphere, were to run the same experiment in their bathtubs.

As Garry wrote, all in the interest of science, of course.

Cheers!

Anne

Anne ... Thank you for the information...!
The theory holds correct!

I'm glad the preparation for said observation, was a
pleasurable one to boot! Just think how nice it would have been to conduct all science experements with the added insentive so stated!
You also, as a side note, disproved another theory, that states "When a body is immersed in water ... the telephone usually rings"

Thanks again, and I'll be looking forward to more enlightened posts.
Take care... Garry
