Creative thinking

I know I'm a big nerd for getting so excited about this kind of stuff, but I thought this story I heard last night on NPR was so cool:

There's a company in Nova Scotia that sells lobsters that people take home with them on their return flights home, but the lobsters are packed with gel ice packs that are a no-no under the new security regulations. So now, instead, they're packing the lobsters with frozen vegetables, which are working equally well.

I just think that's so clever. As was the listener e-mail on the same show suggesting that, rather than Dwarf Planets, Pluto and its comrades should be considered Planettes, which I think is awesome.
