Records Broken!

Posted: February 9th, 2012 | Filed under: Survey Says!/La Encuesta Dice!In the moments after New England’s dreams of Super Bowl glory went down the drain with Tom Brady’s failed last-second Hail Mary toss, toilet use spiked a staggering 13 percent in the city, according to Department of Environmental Protection.
It was sweet relief for millions of fans — in more ways than one.
The toilet-bowl shuffle — which came after tense hours of holding it in — was so strong that the 30-foot-deep water level in the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers actually decreased by 2 inches after the contest.
“This was certainly a significant jump — especially for around 10 p.m. on Sunday night. It’s only going to happen on the Super Bowl,” said a stunned Jim Roberts, deputy commissioner for the city’s DEP.
