Vicente,
"WC" actually is the short form of "Water Closet".
That's what the early Toilets were called.

WC = toilet. I wonder how many went and check.

"WC", huh? I haven't heard that word since I've moved back from Hong
Kong in the early 90's.
May be I should try the knife edge on a vertical down line, instead of
doing it horizontally?

That is called Coriolis accerelation. That is why the water closets
flush to the right in the North hemisphere and to the left in the South
hemisphere (looking the water closet from above). If going down straight
you are close to the ecuator. If this do not happens as described the water
closet needs to be trimmed.

I think Bryan is hiding in his wind tunnel trying to duplicate the
same condition.
I don't think it was my digits. It's probably between the earth's
gravitational pull and soething in the northern hemisphere. I bet the plane
will do the exact opposite if I fly it in Australia ... .-)

I think he wishes it was his thumbs... :)
The push to the belly was more than the pull to the canopy... the
pull was very slight.
