I am sure this has been discussed before, but when you're eating with a fork, do you turn it upside down or right side up?

Depends on if I'm in Europe or not.

People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Right side up in the northern hemisphere, upside down below the equator.

Left hand fork down as in European style. If eating something not requiring a knife and using just a fork in my right hand (as I'm right handed) then up. All depends on if using a knife - I HATE the cutting something and then moving the fork into the other hand to pick up the food. As Forrest says, in switching - stupid is as stupid does.

Does the vortex in your sink rotate the other direction in the southern hemisphere versus the northern? If so, what happens at the equator - a singularity exists - how mind blowing is that!
