What way does the toilet water spin in Antarctica?

Trick question. It's frozen, so it doesn't spin at all.

I do not know the answer, but the Coriolis Force due to the rotation of the Earth has nothing to do with it.

No, they could do a Treehouse of Horrors there. Do a parody of "Who Goes There", oops "The Thing". Or that movie, I can't remember the name, where a team finds a place below the ice that is temperate and loaded with dinosaurs.

Or have another Flash Forward, where Lisa is doing something in Antarctica as an adult.

The Land That Time Forgot, starring Doug McClure. You may remember him from such other films as The People that Time Forgot and Cannonball Run II.

I suspect you're right, but I'm not sure.

I saw the film when I was a kid, it had to be no later than when I was seven. And in trying to figure out what film it was, I've read the description and somehow it doesn't fit what I remember.

To complicate matters, there was a similar episode in "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", and I'm no longer even certain if that's what I'm remembering rather than the movie. I gather the episode reused bits of the movie.

I guess I should get the movie, since you do point it out on my rather vague description. Even if it's not what I remember, it's the sort of tilm I'd want to see.

It isn't really all that good of a movie. When I saw it, though, it was evident that Phil Hartman based his Troy McClure character on that Doug fellow.

It does have some low budget dinosaurs. And either this movie or its sequel, The Land that People Forgot, made it clear that it was set in some undiscovered Antarctica locale.
