What do people think about the Channel nine situation is Australia that is occurring today. Ever since Eddie took over i have not been watching it cause it has become pointless crap on TV.
Sate of Origin is happening next Wed night Go the Blues :)

Is it true that the water in sinks and toilets swirl down the drain in a clockwise manner as opposed to the counterclockwise swirl of the northern hemisphere? LOL? (I've heard that for years and always wondered if it was true)

Draining bathtubs/toilets
A misconception continues to propagate in popular culture, that the Coriolis effect determines the direction in which bathtubs or toilets drain, such that water always drains in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the other direction in the Southern Hemisphere. Notably, a Simpsons Episode confirms the myth incorrectly, as do several websites. Strangely, many of these websites incorrectly claim that drain water spins clockwise north of the equator, and counterclockwise south of it, which is reversed from direction of spin that would result from the Coriolis force if it were a determining factor.
The Coriolis effect is a few orders of magnitude smaller than various random influences on drain direction, such as the geometry of the sink, toilet, or tub, and the direction in which water was initially added to it. Most toilets flush in only one direction, because the toilet water flows into the bowl at an angle[1]. If water shot into the basin from the opposite direction, the water would spin in the opposite direction[2].
The Earth rotates once per day but a bathtub takes only minutes (and a toilet only seconds) to drain. When the water is being drawn towards the drain, the radius with which it is spinning around it decreases, so its rate of rotation increases from the low background level to a noticeable spin in order to conserve its angular momentum (the same effect as ice skaters bringing their arms in to cause them to spin faster). As shown by Ascher Shapiro in a 1961 educational video (Vorticity, Part 1) [1], this effect can indeed reveal the influence of the Coriolis force on drain direction, but only under carefully controlled laboratory conditions.

LOL! Thanks for that Ireland! I always heard that myth but it never seemed important enough to research the subject! As always, you are a wealth of information!

didn't you see the little ":-P" at the end of my sentence. i was making a bitter joke :-)
it's just tough watching NSW take a commanding lead only to self implode in the second half.
guess watching the dragons also turn into mush this year had made me a little more bitter and weathered.
bring on game two. NSW should easily win. for some odd reason QLD have an inability to win at the Olympic (Telstra) Statium.

Maybe somebody should tell the NSW team that there are 2 halves..each of 40 minutes that make a "Match"....half time scores do NOT count.
When they learn to play the FULL 80 minutes they may achieve their goal of beating the mighty Queeeeenslanders, however I doubt it.

Poor NSW. I have to support them since NSW is closer to NZ than Queensland is! Bring on game two. Whatever happened to good old State of Origin scraps? Another victim to political correctness... that was always half the excitement of watching the games!

Don't you just love the biff. Its the best part of the game. Hopefully we will see more of that in two weeks time and more of it will be dished out from NSW side.

Is it true that Australians loathe rabbits as much as Americans loathe cockroachs? (I heard they were introduced by the Brits and are difficult to control because they have no natural predator.)

Mr. Murray, time to

Typical response from a "Cockroach" supporter
The players cant win so they blame the coach
I watched the game in full and not once did I see the COACH make any missed tackles, knock ons, forward passes or any other infringements, STRANGE!!
What position will the NEW coach play??
2 Nil ...soon to be a whitewash!!

no, but IT is up to the coach to prepare the squad for the game, and he failed to do that. N.S.W played poorly last night, (QLD marginally better). It's is the coaches job to get the best out of his players and he has failed to do this in four games.
Do Queensland hold on to a coach who loses four games in a row? I think not.
Quote:

Yes I do. (it would be insane to appoint a QLD for the NSW position and vice-versa_) I was just referring to where he applies his trade with the North Queensland Cowboys.

also don't think this as a personal attack on graham murray. I think he is a good coach, he has done wonders with the Cowboys, the Roosters before that, and even did well with the long lost Illawarra Steelers. but he is just not up to the job of coaching a representative football side.
