Facts:

One of the more popular toilet misconceptions recommends that when toilets flush in the northern hemisphere, the water flows clockwise in the bowl while toilets in the southern hemisphere distribute counter-clockwise, apparently due to the Coriolis Effect brought on by the rotation of the Earth. This sounds interesting, but it is not true. In fact, toilets flush the direction they do entirely because of the manufacturer's design. The Coriolis Effect is a genuine force but it does not effect toilets or sinks.
According to the World Toilet Organization, the average individual uses the toilet 6 to 8 times a day or 2,500 times each year. That translates to three years of somebody's life spent using the toilet.
