Why does the toilet flush clockwise?

Actually, my can flushes counterclockwise, but it really doesn't matter. The lever is just there to lift a chain that lift a rubber tab that opens to draw the water out, with it repenishing the water while or upon closing.

AnswerIt is called the "Coreolis Affect". North of the Equator, the water flushes counter-clockwise, so south of the Equator, the water flushes clockwise.

The coreolis affect does not apply to why the toilet flushes counter-clockwise. toilets have grooved holes that forces water to spiral to the bottom. this increases the flush force. earth's rotation creates the coreolis affect on weather patterns, etc.
