I don`t think Moon signs have anything to do with it. It just came up in the discussion here, that there are three members who are both lefthanded and having a Libra Moon.IP: Logged |

Is it true that water in Australian toilets spirals the opposite way when they flush?

koi - Please tell me coffee is just a hot euphemism.  pire  I'm a lefty and stir counter-clockwise. I enjoy chatting with the Devil over a cup of coffee. He's a good listener. IP: Logged |

valus, it's true!in one episode of the documentary "pole to pole" mickael palin is shown by some kenyan guide the different movements on both sides of the equator, being distant only of a hundred meters or so. the experience is reased with a pot whose base is pierced the size of a needle. with a match in the pot filled with water, the movement is clockwise or anticlockwise on one side of the equator and the opsite a few meters away. in between those 2 points, the water still flows from the pierced pot but the match doesn't go round in any direction. it randomly floats on the surface. kenya is on the equator; this part might be on youtube under "pole to pole" with michael palin (a BBC documentary) IP: Logged |

"watch "300" over and over until insanity" You mean, watching it once?

pire - you are awesome - what an investigator you are!!!! You have earned your Phd. Who would have thought that stirring anticlockwise was the sign of the Devil!!! That now explains my partner's behaviour!! Being a right-handed clockwise stirrer, I feel so ......normal and common. I'm not special katatonic - I just couldn't do a little reversal at the end of a stir! That spoils the whirling pattern of the coffee. I'm beginning to think that fung shui is involved here.

pire The Spanish Inquisition could've used you. I must say though, I have experience burning up while watching Gerard Butler, so I think I've built up quite the tolerance.IP: Logged |

I thought it was clockwise till I noticed this morning it's right to left. I am a devil's spawn! Am right handed, though, does it count, God?  IP: Logged |

I tried stirring my coffee with my left hand today in an anti-clockwise direction. Totally opposite to the usual common way.At first it felt weird. Then it felt pleasantly nice, and then it felt subtly exciting!!! I didn't think stirring my coffee in a different way could give me such a kick!!! I'm easily pleased.........  IP: Logged |
