On the other hand, Australian tropical storms do.

A trivia question: what non-electric, non-electronic item commonly
found in North America will not work in Australia?

<Urk> I hope someone comes up with the answer to this,
I don't have time to puzzle it out or look it up.

Nice try, but no. I won't even bring up the equivalence of electricity
and magnetism to disqualify the answer. However, it is heading in the
right direction, as in science, astronomy,...

I live in the northern hemisphere and have NEVER seen a vortex spin
clockwise.

Scott Abraham. Though commonly found in North America, he doesn't work
there either.

Chuck's balls. He's never had the balls to take a cheap shot at me in
person in the Northern Hemisphere. He'd never have the balls on this entire
planet. Come to think of it, none of the Aussie terrorists have ever had
the balls to confront me, either.

I have found that I can make the vortex in my shower change depending
on where I place my feet.

And why not? The sun does the same thing in the south
as it does in the north. The difference is that it
appears to circle from east to west passing through
north to get there instead of passing through south
to get there as it does in the northern hemisphere.

The numbers will be in the wrong order. A northern hemisphere sundial
used in the southern hemisphere will run through the hours backwards.

Yeah, even NOAA site says it's counter-clockwise. Who are you going to
believe Snopes or NOAA.

However, hurricanes do occasionally spin in an anti-cyclonic
(clockwise) direction. I couldn't find the reference after a few
minutes of searching but I do remember an article I read about one such
hurricane in the early 1900's that formed in the Carribean and entered
the Gulf of Mexico. Wikipedia has an article about anti-cyclonic
rotation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyclone but they didn't
mention any specific hurricanes. If I remember right, the article said
that only about 1 or 2 percent of hurricanes will spin in a clockwise
direction (Northern hemisphere) and are generally very weak.

I have also have heard that there are occasionally clockwise rotating
tropical storms that form in the Southern hemisphere very near the
equator and make it into the Northern hemisphere. Again, they are
generally very weak and break up pretty quickly once they come North.

William Gilbert in his book "De Magnete" (1600) pointed out that the
earth is one huge magnet, and stress that compass don't point to true
north, but to the magnetic north, IIRC. I assume some explorers at the
time found that they were getting inaccurate compass readings, given
they also had sextants and astrolabes to get a better reading of their
position.

Ain't it funny how you *never* see anyone ever say anything nice about
you...

I know, I know: they're afraid...


....but, even the new ones? The ones who don't know the background; how
do *they* know to be scared?

The manual for my 1996 Dodge Caravan had a map that showed what
pilots normally see for magnetic declination. (Trivia points, know who
'discovered' magnetic declination?)

And almost any good pilot page usually will have a link to magnetic
declination
information. I even think some versions of the Boy Scout handbook has
information. But usually the info is limited to North America.

Once you get the mindset that compasses do NOT point 'north', they point
to the manifestation of the north pole of a magnet in the earth, then you
can
easily come to the conclusion that compasses will actually work everywhere.
But they are misleading when you are at locations where the fact that the
magnetic pole and the geographic pole are not in the same general direction
comes into play. Especially true if you're right AT one of the magnetic
poles.

By the way, the magnetic poles are NOT stationary. They move quite a bit,
and it used to be thought they 'flip' every million years or so. Now they
think they flip every hundred thousand or less. And we may be rapidly
headed for a flip now. Magnetic intensity is significantly down in just the
last few hundred years...

Well, just to pick some nits here, Richard did say non-electric. Since
electricity and magnetism are the same thing
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations), I think the compass
is disqualified.

You truly are delusional. I gave an exact time, date, and location. Only a

No surprise neither you or your fellow insane freak Alan Baker showed up.

Why don't you go

Hmmmm. I remember standing at the info tower at Whistler at the time I said

If only you knew Bob. He knew where I lived for years. What I look

He had where I am concerned. Nothin'. The best thing you can do is

My homemade kangaroo repeller. Works like a charm here, but appears

Do you mean I shouldn't laugh at him? He's so full of himself and
how tough he is that it is funny. Everyone knows that someone

You can do whatever you want. What I'd recommend is:

1) killfile you-know-who
2) killfile anybody who responds to him

Simple problem, simple solution. Works like a charm. And I don't think
I'm missing anything with this approach.
