Edmontonians Flushin

Amazing graph from Pat's Papers (via Yglesias)


 Shows the changes in water consumption in Edmonton over a 6 hour period the day of the gold medal hockey game. Huge spikes in consumption immediately after the end of the periods, presumably when everyone got up and rushed to the bathroom. Notice, however, that very few rushed to the bathroom after the win. Instead, we gloried and reveled in the victory, dancing both out of joy and in an effort to keep it in. Only after the medals were given, the songs sung, and probably at least a few pants wet, did we collectively rush to the john.
