After 50 hours of computer time and 1.5 trillion calculations, he's determined that the shower pushes the air into a large vortex with a low-pressure center that literally sucks the curtain in -- something akin to a hurricane on its side. Great. Now that that mystery is solved, maybe he could figure out why socks go in the dryer but don't come out.
