Slightly off the subject, but in Italy they have solved the problem of a parking lot being littered with grocery carts. The carts are chained together one by one, using a unique release device.  Patrons "rent" the cart for one Euro by placing a Euro coin in the release device, which releases that cart from the stack.  The Euro coin is trapped in the device until such time that the cart is re-chained to the rest, where it is released and the customer gets it back. 

Great concept, but the problem is that no merchant in the US is going to be brave and bold enough to be the first to tell us lazy-*** Americans that we have to "pay" to get a cart.

And unfortunately there are enough who would go next door where some poor soul spends half his working time unproductively rounding up and returning the carts so they can just be scattered again.

BTW, how are the Huskers looking this year?
