The direction of flow of water is mainly dependent on the shape of the bowl, and other toilet-specific factors. The Coriolis force acts differently depending on your latitude, but its so small as to not make a noticable effect.
Depends on the animal, and the television. CRT TVs have an effective refresh rate of about 30Hz (60Hz interlaced), which to us appears as a moving picture since humans see motion instead of still pictures above around 20Hz. Some animals will need a higher refresh rate to see motion, depending on the animal, they might see a series of still pictures, or more likely a strobing effect. An LCD display will not have the strobing effect. Many animals will see colour differently, as the colour receptors in their eyes are tuned to different frequencies.






, "ph" and "th", respectively, but there's no real "h", only that semi-useless apostrophe.
