Yeah that would definitely be a very interesting job.

Speaking of a billion degrees below zero, when the Rangers are out on patrol and need to go to the bathroom they just go in their pants cause it freezes instantly. Not exactly sure how they deal with #2's though...

This is all coming from a really great article I read about this whole issue awhile back. Can't seem to locate it online though.
