Unless they're using different toilets to us then no, the don't. The
vorticity created in the water as it hits the toilet pan is
several orders of magnitude greater than the coriolis effect for
systems on this scale. Sorry to disappoint you.

Theoretically yes, but in practice it is very difficult to demonstrate
on that sort of scale. If you can make the hole without introducing any
vortices whatsoever into the water then it will go the 'right' way,
otherwise it's pretty random, as it certainly is in the case of
draining baths/flushing toilets.

Every single hamster in the USA comes from a single litter captured in Syria in 1930.
Many hamsters only blink one eye at a time.
The nest of a Bald Eagle can way well over a ton.

Yeah they are/do.
If Barbie were life-size, She would stand seven feet, two inches tall and have a neck twice the length of a normal human's neck.
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.
