You know what happened.  If you don’t, and don’t care about the great American pastime, please fuck off.  If you do care, but don’t know, watch this:

Have you seen these people, the ones who get together in a public space and perform a seemingly spontaneous dance at the appropriate time?  Then, after the music stops, they disband like, “What? This shit happens all the time”?
