Bart rejected her explanation and set out to prove her wrong by placing international phone calls across the Southern Hemisphere, asking people to check the rotation of their sinks and toilets. His actions escalated into widespread prank calls that ultimately contributed to diplomatic tension between the [[United States]] and [[Australia]].<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> The {{W|Coriolis effect}} is the apparent deflection of moving objects caused by [[Earth]]'s rotation, described in 1835 by French scientist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis.<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> *{{ep|Bart vs. Australia|(mentioned)}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> *{{Wikipedialink}}<br /> <br /> {{Real-world deceased characters|science=yes}}<br /> {{Simpsons characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Coriolis, Gaspard-Gustave de}}<br /> [[Category:Adults]]<br /> [[Category:Mentioned characters]]<br /> [[Category:Real-world characters]]</div>
