The way my dad explained it to me years ago....."the thermostat always points (pointy thing) to the thermostat housing. (the dome shaped part with the radiator hose attached)" And yes, "pointy thing" and Domed shaped.....) were part of his origional explaination to me. This was over 30 years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday. 
He was pointing at the parts he was describing as he was explaining them.

I do a lot of auto work for friends, and most of them are very unlearned when it comes to anything mechanical. I've gotten into such a habit of explaining things in layman's terms to them that it's just habit now. They always want to watch me when I work, because it's apparently just facinating.
Go figure...
