When I was in Ecuador, I did my own test.  Quite a bit north of the equator, 
I filled a wash basin with water and pulled the plug.  The water swirled one 
way.

AT the equator, I did the same thing, and the water just drained.

A bit south of the equator, I did the same thing, and there wasn't much of 
interest.

Further south of the equator, I did the same thing, and the water swirled 
the opposite way.

I eliminated water current, toilet bowl rim jet patterns, etc.

Q.E.D.
