Pretty neat. I was a commercial painter for 9 years. This reminds me of the Best Buy headquarters that I helped paint in Richfield MN. There's an entire Best Buy store mock-up below ground for training purposes.
You know, these days we live largely in a global society and have a global economy, or at least we seem to be headed in that direction.
Eventually we're going to need a "New World Order" type of governing body to deliberate on global standards. The U.N. is the obvious choice for such a force but most of us countries who make up the U.N. are....well....we're kind of A******s.
Can we just elect Japan? I'm being kind of sarcastic but seriously, they don't seem to be concerned with beating anybody up (anymore) or robbing anyone, they just spend all of their time being entertainingly strange and making cool stuff.
Break this "study" down into individual nations and see if there is a correlation with which side of the road the nation in question drives on.
When you start a wave at a stadium you usually make eye contact with the people in the direction which you expect the wave to travel. Being from the U.S. I would be inclined to look to the left (clockwise). The head/body motion involved in starting a wave is the same one I'm used to doing dozens of times a day; lean forward, rotate head 90 degrees. In a country where we drive on the right side of the road we look left, both first and most often.
When looking at a clock we tend to think of clockwise as moving to the right even though the hands are also moving to the left for the same amount of time. I think that on a horizontal plane, directional preference is probably just a matter of what we're most used to doing.
And of course, as BJN said, the Coriolis Effect has no influence.
Yes, this is very cool and for Christ's sake, I wish people could get it through their heads that this is how you make an instructional video.
Preview of the finished product FIRST, THEN instructions. Nothing worse than 10 minutes listening to someone explain how to make something before you know if it's something you even want to make.

Also; Greasemonkey scripts will fix anything else the web tries to throw at you ;)
"You have to remember that in 99% of videos like this, IF someone had been hurt, the video would never have been made available for public viewing."
HAhahahahahhah........Ah...hahahahahahahahahhahahahaahh!
Welcome to the Internet!
think about Bert and Ernie or Ren and Stimpy. They had those names for a reason (reversed for comic effect of course).
