PLEASE STOP, all this info is making my head spin.
And since I'm in Idaho my head is spinning clockwise but my office is
spinning counter clockwise.

Depends.
Are you on a train traveling east or west?
Or are you in a house that has been picked up by a tornado and you are
rapidly spinning counterclockwise?
Or have you been drinking heavily and the wash basin is already spinning
before you turn on the water?
BTW, I have visited Australia and NZ and I noticed that water flows
based on the direction of how it enters the wash/toilet bowl and the
design of the bowl.
And if Wirt points you to a web site that says 'hogwash' you had better
believe it. Wirt knows what he is talking about :-)
