Trapped Chinese miners survived by eating coal and drinking pee!

[sneakers]

They were in the mine for 6 days. They survived because they tunneled themselves out of the collapsed mine after rescuers gave them up for dead.

That is awsome... Talking about not giving up.

I did not think coal or pee had nutrition value...

The pee actually does keep you hydrated a little bit but I didn't know the coal did either.

It has something to do with the coal, it's absorbs certain toxins and equalizes them so the body won't go into toxic shock.

you can drink your own urine to keep from dehydration, as long as the urine is still warm. Good to know if you are ever in the desert...
