yeh, i'm curious how he didn't die of alcohol poisoning, pass out, or die from oxygen deprivation before he managed to pee himself out.

** Update **
Snopes.com has been looking into this story for validity.....
However, a correspondent who works for a Slovak news agency informed us that not only has the avalanche story (or any news story about an avalanche) not appeared in the news media there, but the very same tale (of Czech origin, told about an unnamed man caught in the Austrian Alps) was circulating in that country as an e-mail joke even before the heavy snows described in the article occurred.
