It would be cool and I wonder now if it's possible... unfortunately, that one is pure photoshop!

Hope you have a drought... let us know.

maybe I should see how many people would be interested in a freezing-core, temp-gauge plug! ;-)

As with many things on a car, there is an "official reason" and a "REAL" reason for freeze plugs. The official reason (and the source of the name) is this: If you run just water with no antifreeze in your car's cooling system the water can freeze. When water freezes, it expands. If water freezes inside your engine block, it can expand and crack the block, destroying the motor. Freeze plugs (or expansion plugs) will "pop out" and supposedly prevent this.

I would believe this if some engines didn't have threaded core plugs...
