Lobster shippers find a creative way to get around the new airline restrictions:

Clearwater Seafoods used to add frozen gel packs to live lobster boxes when preparing a carry-on for travellers looking to take home a taste of Nova Scotia.
That stopped on Aug. 10, after British police said they foiled a plot to blow up planes flying from Britain to the United States using carried-on substances.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority reacted by banning almost all liquids and gels in carry-on luggage on flights within Canada and those to the U.S. and Britain.
To get around the new rules, Clearwater started to vacuum-seal bags of frozen vegetables so passengers could once again carry live lobster.
Motherfucking lobsters on the mohterfucking plane!
It's legal to for women to be topless in Eugene, OR.

::wonders how many topless women with peas there are in Eugene::
Boobies and peas, hooray!
Oh, there should also be a painting entitled "Nude Descending Staircase, with Peas." It would need a window in the background so you could see something touristy from Eugene.
I'm not sure what he was trying to say, but it seems like it'd be a variant on a Boston-is-more-something than we are. Usually it gets the evil liberal label, but this one I just can't parse.
My take was that he (who was a guy being interviewed, not the writer of the article) was saying that if being publicly nude was common behavior, it would be happening in Boston if it was happening anywhere, being that it's a biggish city that's also known to be liberal. Of course, that whole Boston-is-liberal thing has always run up against that Banned-in-Boston thing forever, so I'm not sure it's a terribly well-reasoned argument.
According to this article, it's not illegal to be publicly nude in Vermont. Huh.
I'm afraid to read the article, because it probably quotes my brother.
How many days out of the year is it warm enough to WANT to be publically nude in Vermont?
Approximately 0.78.

It was about Brattleboro, VT - is that where your brother is? If not, it's probably not an issue.
