Mitad del Mundo -- Equator, ECUADOR

Stepped back and forth from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere today at the equator line, just a few kilometers north of the city of Quito. Saw several experiments where it is shown that a bucket of water placed directly on the equator line, flows out without a swirl. Placed a few meters south of the equator line and water flows out clock-wise. Placed a few meters north of the equator line and water flows out counter clock-wise. Also, stand on the equator line, and your muscles are significantly weaker...also, on the line, chicken eggs are very easy to be balanced. Amazing....or did they smuggle with my brain?
