  Why is clockwise Clockwise?
Clockwise and counterclockwise as we now know them seem to have derived from an accident of‹as the real estate dealer said‹location, location, location.
This left-to-right, or clockwise, movement, became so ingrained in the culture patterns of different peoples that their ancient rituals made Œgood¹ magic by moving from left to right.
Before clocks were invented and the words Œclockwise¹ and Œcounter-clockwise¹ were derived from the motion of the hand(s), the clockwise movement was called Œsunwise¹.

 Question 19.11: Why do Hebrew clocks run clockwise, not counter- clockwise?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The shadow moves in a W to N to E rotation, which is what we call "clockwise." When mechanical clocks were invented, this rotation was duplicated.
South of the Tropic of Capricorn, a sundial moves counter-clockwise, and between the tropics, the motion of the shadow depends on the time of year.
Had the clock been an invention of South American Indians or Southern Africans, "clockwise" would likely mean the opposite rotation.

 IGN Boards - Clockwise or counter? Which gives the better cut?
The only merit is that spinning clockwise allows for one final diagonal slice upon completing the whirl (as is seen in Link's SC2 battle profile demo) as well as in doing the the quick spin in OoT and MM.
Therefore for a greater power output, a clockwise spin would be ideal choice because for a lefty, and it would seem to be the correct way to spin.
If he attempted a spin attack in the opposite and counter-clockwise way, it would do naught but bog him down because of the position of his arm on his body, and the ways of movement his mind is accustomed to.

 Theory on Tap
It is also true that as you go clockwise each note is a fourth down from the previous note, and as you go counter-clockwise each note is a fourth above the previous note.
For instance, if you are playing a C (note or chord) and you move it up the neck by one fret dot, the result will be F, one position counter-clockwise from C on the circle.
Similarly moving down the neck by one fret dot is equivalent to moving one position clockwise on the circle.

 Checking whether the polygon is clockwise or counter clockwise ordered - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
the problem is that it wont work for every triangle, it misses some counter clockwised triangles and they are being culled off when they dont have to be...
my main problem is that i have no idea if the triangles that i generate are orederd in a clockwise order, so i have to check whether a triangle is ordered in counter clockwise order and if so, i have to rearrange it in a clockwise order.
If on the other hand you know the normal of a triangle you can determine wether the vertices are clockwise or counter-clockwise by using the cross product.

 Bad Coriolis
Indeed, the term cyclonic not only means that the fluid (air or water) rotates in the same direction as the underlying Earth, but also that the rotation of the fluid is due to the rotation of the Earth.
Thus, the air flowing around a hurricane spins counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere (as does the Earth, itself).
I decided to include a picture of a draining sink, and the first one I tried in my house was found to drain clockwise (the opposite of what the silly assertions would have it do here in the northern hemisphere).

We have been treating all of the mass of the meterstick as acting at one point: its center of mass.
From this point of view the weight of the stick leads to just one torque which might be clockwise or counter-clockwise.
But part of the stick is to the right of the axis and should cause a clockwise torque, while the rest of the stick is to the left and should cause a counter-clockwise torque.

 Re: Do Vines Twine Counter-Clockwise Only?
To get back to the original question of chirality, most people believe (including me until recently) that a species of plant only nutates with a specific handedness.
This idea is so prevalent that recently Italian botanists described a mutant plant whose roots circumnutate left-handed (clockwise) instead of right-handed.
Johnsson, a Norwegian botansist, and world authority on circumnutation, pointed out recently in a paper that many plants can change their direction of rotation while they are still growing.

 Pelican Parts Technical BBS - Clockwise or Counter-clockwise?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Wilson's book goes from Piston #1 to #4, then #3, then #2 - which indicates to me that the crankshaft is being rotated clockwise (the book doesn't say - or I missed it).
This is the techinque I used, and all went well.
I was able to easily rotate the crankshaft counter-clockwise with a ratchet on the fan hub bolt, and used this method to set all the valves, but I had difficulty when trying to go clockwise.
