Lobster would certainly be interesting, considering the wee lett'l things that pass for crustaceans in Finland.

However, you'd better check that you'd be able to bring it into the country. There are often rules preventing you from taking non-pasteurized food across international borders. And then what happens if for any reason you don't make your connection and you get stuck overnight somewhere with a carton of thawing, dripping, uncooked lobster? (Are they uncooked?)

Last time we had a connection at DeGaulle, the French service workers decided to go on strike that very day and we got stranded for a bit.
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.

when I saw the lobster suggestion I did a little checking if it was allowed to bring from Canada to EU, and as far as I can see it is allowed for the amounts you would bring personally... but freshness might be a small problem as they do not guarantee temperatures in the hold/ transit. Would a lobster claw be considered a weapon and not be allowed in cabin :D
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

New movie:

Lobsters On A Plane

or Crabs On A Plane

A solar flare irradiates a high-altitude plane full of Finnish tourists returning from Nova Scotia, causing ice-packed dormant lobsters and assorted giant crabs to grow large and restless and attempt to eat the passengers. This causes a forced ditching in the Atlantic ocean, where inflated life-rafts full of passengers are soon surrounded by sharks.

Then a huge thump occurs and the passenger having this dreams awaken. Another thump occurs and one of the overhead doors pops open. A massive claw emerges, pinching randomly at the air.

I don't know why people in Hollywood get paid so much.

Coming up with fresh and original ideas just doesn't seem that hard to do.

I've been browsing the malls and the city for the past few weeks for something, and have found nothing "UNIQUE"
