If one runs water down the drain at the equator, does it rotate? (Serious question).

Yes it does - at random in one direction or the other. Keep in mind that Coriolis is just one factor that influences rotation. There have been a couple of rare clockwise spinning tornadoes noted in the southeast U.S., and clockwise spinning waterspouts have been seen in the Fllorida Keys.
