Almost exactly nine months ago, on June 28, 2016, Iceland did the impossible.

Their tiny country of 300,000 overcame tea-sipping footballing Goliath, England at the Euro 2016.

Here is the freakout:

And here are the celebrations:

But did you ever wonder what all these screaming fans, inevitably jacked up on adrenaline, did at night?

Well, wonder no more.

Ice ice, baby

According to Visir, an Icelandic paper, Iceland is reportedly seeing a record-breaking number of births, nine months after their countrymen's historic footballing heroics.

The news of this seems to have come from this tweet from a doctor at a local hospital:

Which translates to:

"Hehehe today:

set a record for the number of epidurals in the maternity duty this weekend - nine months after the 2-1 win over England

;)"

Now certainly, it makes sense for a country to celebrate with such reckless abandon after a historic achievement.

Guess we have to wait till May to see if an Olympic medal prompted the same results here.
