Back in my day, we used toilet paper as it was intended; to TP someone’s house/trees/car!

[Papasan]

Call the Fire Marshall, I think…

100 rolls a year? The average American goes through two rolls of TP a week? Am I way below the curve? I get more like a month out of a roll.

Maybe that’s the average american household?

Hrmm. From toilet paper history dot net:

In an average household, the average roll of toilet paper lasts approximately five days.
…
The average person uses 100 rolls of toilet paper per year (over 20,000 sheets).

Not to get too detailed, but, consider that you probably make some bathroom visits without using any toilet paper at all; next consider the population for whom that is not the case.

Holy shit!

I wonder what this would have cost to pull off in Barrow, Alaska?

I’m not saying aliens built the TP pyramid, but it was aliens… after chili night.

I was certain that this was going to be another BoingBoing buy-a-bidet post.

I suppose ass size is a factor here.

[Akimbo_NOT]

And if there is a Mexican restaurant nearby…

[JackFrost]

Ah, to be young again.

I once made a 7x7x7 cube of Fresca cans in my dorm room. Not quite as impressive, I suppose.

Can we really believe that mere students created such a pyramid? Or perhaps they received help from beyond our world?

[euansmith]

I misread their club name as “Buttock Creek”, and I thought it sounded appropriate.

[knoxblox]

And your mind didn’t take it the obvious one step further into “buttock crack”? /s
