Yes, but it doesn't involve the coriolis effect.
It depends on the shape of the bath tub, the position of the drain, the movement of water before it starts to go down the drain, etc etc.

If you take all the necessery steps and have a perfect vessel for the water and observe very closely you might be able to detect the coriolis force, but I wouldn't bet on it on your first attempt!

is this still the sig thread? does Arkcon read this?

I like his sig:

It is by Caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion-
It is by the beans of Java, that thoughts acquire speed-
The hands acquire shakes; the shakes become a warning-
It is by Caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion...

some time ago, i was thinking of pitching an energy drink marketing scheme to any random cola company.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Puke, that is too funny. I don't know where I found my sig -- probably I was searching for Dune info when the House books came out.

Here's something fun, print out my sig, but select a font small, with shadowing -- it will seem to vibrate. Great for the coffee maker at work.
