Not only is the Coriolis effect responsible for the direction water spins in your toilet, it also dictates which direction a person must spin in order to get dizzy.  Of course, dizziness is controlled by both the Coriolis effect and the dominant half of the person in question.  For example, a left-handed person in the southern hemisphere gets dizzy when rotating in the same direction as a right-handed person in the the northern hemisphere.  Since ambidexterity is a violation of natural laws, people with this cursed trait are doomed to dizziness in both hemispheres, regardless of spin.
