How Much Does Threading Cost

a hell of a ride to the equator and back.

We had still the opportunity for a short trip. What could be more than driving to Äuquator, and with one foot on the two to be half of our globe. What sounds so innocent, should, however, develop into an adventure, with whom we had not expected.
We are here so treated as state guests, so we were prescribed a Polizeescorte to ensure faster and above all to get through the dense city traffic. It still went forward very hesitantly. Our police car siren and lights did indeed run, but it was on nothing. Until our driver decided to show the cops even know how to drive right car in this country.
squeezed at breakneck speed it through columns of three-lane, switched to the bus lane, took a short time cutter on the opposite lane, ran into each roundabout, as if we were a bank robber car on the run. The colleagues from the police she had left behind in a short time, despite flashing lights and siren. Only when we were already almost reached the target, the police twitching sparkled still in full alert after us, and again began to "watch over" us . But then we went
even to the equator. In a small open-air museum with Native American cultural and architectural sites, it is marked with a red line, the equator.
A very amiable guide told us all sorts of history and physical, the only experience you just can, if you stand exactly on the equator.
So, YES, VOTE, THE WATER IN THE BATH MAKES THE REALLY DO NOT SWIRL runoff. This phenomenon I have learned with eleven years in school, but since then I wanted to try it for sure if it's true. The allerverblüffendste but was the only exactly is on the line Sun Just a few meters away, the water begins again to form a vortex when it expires. And yes, it is also true that it rotates in the northern hemisphere, counterclockwise in the south in a clockwise direction. All who ask, "Yes, they have built there an experimental arrangement to demonstrate this phenomenon. In the Hotel Bath of course it does not because the hotel is a few miles south yes again. another very amazing story was that you can just balance on the line of the equator relatively easily chosen an egg on a nail, without it falling over. This works because there are no centrifugal forces of the Earth's rotation there is, and has only the force of gravity.
Speaking gravity, it also has about one kilogram less body weight, because there is farthest from the center of the earth.
All in all a more than interesting trip. And finally I can sleep peacefully. The bathtub vortex problem has me somehow always busy.
The return trip was thank God a little calmer. Our escort had passed even before the ride politely but firmly, so that we have completely unprotected reached the hotel again for sure.
I'm sure the two police officers have to first of all made here, the very popular coca tea. He should be totally relaxing. I also have a try tomorrow.
