I'll just answer for everyone.

Counter-Clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.



Or did you just want everyone to say in which hemisphere they live?

I think I saw somewhere that this was an urban myth, and that the direction water spiraled as it drained wasn't affected by the geographical location.

Exatly, Jason! So let's hear it yabbadabbadont and briancurtin, which way do your turds spin? We're building an emperical data base here!

dude, you do know that toilets have water jets that determine the direction...doesnt really matter which way, itll go down. If you really want a test put pepper or something on water in a sink or bottle of still water, then drain it. Ill give you a hint though - hemisphere isn't going to affect it.
