Why does the water in the toilet move around when its windy outside?

So just got back from the bathroom at work and noticed something that I have wondered my entire life...

Why does the water in the toilet bowl move around when its windy outside???

Today might possibly be the windiest day I have experienced in my 26 years of life. It is absolutely brutal and I would rather have it rain and thunderstorm any day of the week. Wind ruins everything. Sure as hell cant golf, cant be outside period. You cant hear anything either and good luck carrying on a conversation. You might as well be a mute in these conditions. Unless you specialize in lip reading.

So why does the water move around in that ivory bowl? Its not subject to open drafts of wind?? I am in a secure building and not in a fish house?? I just don't understand it...last time I checked wind doesn't penetrate steel piping.

The only thing I can think of is that the wind is blowing up through the end or opening of the pipe when Mr. Hanky gets dropped off at the square pond. Although my next question would be how does it affect every toilet??? Must be some wind...maybe my hypothesis is inaccurate or better yet dead wrong but if anyone knows the true reasoning behind this, be sure to let me know. Might be a question only Ryan Robards could answer...

Next time you sit down on the pot and its the Bering Sea below you...you will understand where I am coming from.

On a side note what is the deal with these new movies coming out. Edward Norton as the Incredible Hulk? Will Smith as some superhero called Hancock??? I don't know if any of you have seen the previews for this Hancock movie but you are missing out. At one point it shows Will Smith pick up a huge whale off of the beach, swing it above his head like he was in a rodeo and throw it several "hundreds" of feet out into the ocean and hit a boat. It looked pretty realistic...

Now those are two movies that I would opt for the trigger to be pulled if a gun was to my head.
