Man peed way out of avalanche: "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."
Of course, it might have worked just as well if he had poured the beer on the snow, but why take any chances?

But if it didn't work, at least you would be feeling no pain.
That's awesome! I wish I could get trapped like that.
I'm no thermodynamics whiz, but I'd say warm pee melts snow better than cold beer. Plus, there's the whole moral dilemma about pouring out perfectly good beer.
