I once won some friends a beer by having a random trivia on demand.  Shortly after SB50, I was with some friends at a bar trivia night.  The last question was to name the three QBs who have started in the SB for multiple teams (note before anyone says it:  this was well prior to four months ago).  Everyone else in the bar got 2, I managed to pull all three and we won the contest (this was just a question in there) by one.

In case it's ever relevant to someone here:  Franco Harris and Lynn Swann won SB MVP in consecutive years and share a birthday (month and day at least). 

I don't know the answer to the quarterback question, but I'm guessing:
Craig Morton

Kurt Warner

Peyton Manning 

Tom Brady

Can't name three quarterbacks or the three who have started the Super Bowl for multiple teams?  At the time of the trivia event I described earlier, the three were Craig Morton, Kurt Warner, and Peyton Manning.   The first of those three I think was the deciding point.

Sorry, I answered before I read down this far.

For most of my life, Craig Morton was the answer to this question: "Who is the ONLY quarterback to start for 2 different teams in the SuperBowl?" Then Kurt Warner did it... and so on.

That’s considered common knowledge, isn’t it? Especially in the west?

Did you know the invasion was originally planned for June 5th, 1944?

Actually, I did not know that. Interesting! Quite an invasion and sacrifice to take control at Normandy.

Under controlled circumstances:

"In other words, the Coriolis effect is real."

I normally like his videos, but… I'm not really sure about that one. A small difference in how the drain was shaped could have induced a little spin, or perhaps even whether it was exactly centered, or which way the valve opens, or whether the pool was level… etc. It's not like it was spinning fast.

I don't think the difference in relative momentum across a few foot diameter really accurately compares to things (hurricanes) that are tens of miles wide at the smallest and hundreds wide typically.

"However, the Coriolis effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a measurable influence over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of which applies to the typical terrestrial bathroom."
