        @neiltyson Isn't Coriolis negligible wrt local forces for small objects/systems? See: toilet flush direction. Kicker & wind set direction.

        @weskimcom @neiltyson That's what I thought too, but I wasn't sure if the great Neil Tyson's tweet was really serious

        @JulieCarpenter_ @neiltyson true, most likely tongue-in-cheek. Tone always so hard to read online sometimes.

        @neiltyson Sure, kicks are deflected to the right, but what's the magnitude of the deflection?

        @neiltyson my toilet flushes clockwise. I live in Mass. Shouldn't they have designed all toilets in N. hemisphere to follow Coriolis effect?

        @neiltyson I guess the buffalo bills can can stop blaming Scott Norwood for their 1990 super bowl loss. The kick was wide right

        @neiltyson all NFL stadiums are N/S to ensure the sun doesn't affect gameplay.

        @neiltyson if you're kicking north wouldn't the ball be deflected to the left/west and if you're kicking south, to the right/west?
