: Bart: Go, toothpaste, go! Move your pasty white butt.
: Lisa: Come on, shampoo! You can do it!
: [both swirl down the sink, shampoo first]
: Yay! I won your stupid bathroom products race.
: Bart: No fair! You only won because you had the inside track. If the
: water was spinning the other way --
: Lisa: It _never_ spins the other way. In the Northern hemisphere,
: water always drains counterclockwise. It's called the Coriolis
: Effect.
: Bart: No way. Water doesn't obey your _rules_: it goes where it
: wants...like me, babe.
: Lisa: Yes, _Bart_...why don't you try it and see?
: [Bart turns the tap on; water swirls counterclockwise]
: Bart: I _know_ I've seen it go the other way. Ah, faithful toilet:

: [said globe is still wrapped for Bart's birthday from Abe]
: Lisa: [pointing] See, the Southern hemisphere is made up of everything
: below the equa --
: [stops, sees Bart looking blankly]
: -- this line.
: Bart: Hmm. [spins globe] So down there in, say, Argentina, or...[reads
: logo] Rand McNally, all their water runs backwards?
: Lisa: Uh huh. In fact, in Rand McNally, they wear hats on their feet
: and hamburgers eat people.
: Bart: Cool!
: -- Impressionable youth, "Bart vs. Australia"
