Facts:

Among the more popular toilet myths recommends that when toilets flush in the northern hemisphere, the water distributes 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 fascinating, but it is not true. In fact, toilets flush the direction they do exclusively because of the manufacturer's style. The Coriolis Effect is a real force however it does not effect toilets or sinks.
According to the World Toilet Organization, the typical individual uses the toilet 6 to eight times a day or 2,500 times each year. That translates to three years of someone's life invested using the toilet.
