"A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it."

Full Story

Wow.

Great read, thanks for that. My reaction is exactly the same as Lev, Wow...

That's one way to free yourself from a car trapped under an avalanche.

[Writes it down for future reference]

I told this one to a coworker the other day while I was reading it online.

He said "Why didn't the guy just pour the beer on the snow instead of drinking it and urinating on the snow?"

I said "You know what? That idea would have never occurred to me."

For the calories. With no food, you need calories. Secondly, warm urine must melt snow better than lukewarm beer.
