I do believe you're right! I've never thought about it, but after
watching 
Bill Nye the Science Geek explaining angular momentum, and if you push
on a 
gyroscope's axle it will move 90 degrees to the actual direction of
force, 
etc. it makes sense.  Hmmm, guess that makes spinning spaceships for
articial 
gravity a bit ridiculous.....
