Through the magical word of science :) comes a great tip for when you're dumping out the liquid from your carboy.
If you swirl the liquid around while dumping, the liquid will come out evenly and will eliminate the glug, glug effect.
 
You can also use your racking cane to let air into the carboy, and it'll empty even faster!
 
Like the cane idea - gotta try it. For me, swirling makes it glug more. A nice smooth pour forms a cavity that lets air in, at least when the carboy is less than half full or so.
