"It's amazing she was able to live that long."

A 5-year-old girl in the Los Angeles area survived for 10 days following a car crash that killed her mother after the car fell 400 feet over a guardrail. How did she survive? She drank Gatorade and ate dried noodles. "I couldn't imagine having to survive like that for 10 days without any help," said Capt. Bob Clark of the CA Highway Patrol.

Not to take away from the tragedy of the situation, but apparently Capt. Clark never lived in a college dorm. I had a roommate who lived on nothing but Ramen noodles and milk, and as far as I know, he is still alive.
