Chart of the day

After Canada beat the US in the Men's Hockey Gold Medal game, I bet you, like myself, had one question running through your head: I wonder what the water consumption and toilet use rates were in Canada during the game? Finally, thanks to Edmonton water utility EPCOR, we have a specific chart of when locals were dropping the kids off at the pool and making onesies in relation to the ups, downs, and, if you're an American, more downs of the hockey game that we ended up not caring about after we lost.


Truly these are the bowel movements of a nation in the thrall of hockey-mania. On the other hand we Americans just hold it until we piss ourselves after we pass out, in the streets on the way home, or we just go into the bottle we just emptied while onlookers chastise us for our lack of decorum. Who's to say which method is better.

So congrats on your gold, you can now go back to using the toilet at regular intervals like normal people. You know, after the moose herd finishes thundering through your front lawn and the mounties deliver your shipment of curling stones and syrup or whatever the hell it is your entire nation of Alaska touchers does up there.
