That amount of flushing equals seven minutes of water flowing over the Niagara Falls." Actually, they admit that this is a legend, but they've created a website to cash in on the legend: halftimeflush.com. However, I don't know how they arrive at the figure of 350 million gallons. (I assume they're just making up the figure of 90 million people flushing the toilet.) I thought that the average toilet uses about 2 gallons per flush. In which case, the volume of water used would be closer to 180 million gallons... and so equivalent to only about 3 1/2 minutes of water flowing over Niagara Falls. But where are they getting their facts about the volume of water flowing over Niagara? According to this site, 150,000 gallons per second flows over the American Falls, whereas 600,000 per second flows over the Canadian falls. So, assuming that they're talking about the Canadian falls, 350 million gallons of water flushed down the toilet would be equivalent to almost ten minutes of water flowing over Niagara.
Major sewer overload in that little time frame. I did tne right thing and did not watch the game, I had more pressing issues to attend to.
When it first started I was working out, and during halftime, I just didn't have much urge to pee so it was alright after all.
Im pretty sure that a handfull of people peed on themselves during that game, either by excitement, or because the lines were too long.
the super bowl party we went to was thrown by a guy who runs an Old Chicago. they even have toilets in their bathrooms for the guests, so you don't have to wait.
completely off topic, but i felt like sharing ... i have a collection of toy toilets.. I LOVE THEM! i want more... fftopic:
GO GIANTS!!!!!! On a secondary note, it is estimated that in Rio (especially in the neighborhood of Copacabana, one of the densest urban areas in the world) if all toilets were to be flushed simultaneously, a major explosion would occur! lol Gotta love it.
