You can demonstrate this in the house:
Fill the sink with water
Hold a cup with the opening facing down
Push the cup into the sink
Now, how much water is in the cup?

If you simply point the hose up, you have merely increased the
necessary water level before you end up in the exact same situation.
However, by pointing the opening down you create a situation where the
air in the hose will prevent water from entering even if the water is
well over the top of the hose.

Q: What is the difference between open-source and commercial software?
A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone
number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version.
For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you
get the solution within a day.

Yup, just what he said. The stock ones come with a fitting that has a
nipple end up with a cap over it. The cap acts just like the below
mentioned cup.
