Very ingenious solution. I'm impressed.
This falls under that category of, 'Why didn't I ever think of that?". Which should also include the writers of the show. After all, Ressurection had aired only a couple of months before. 'Gee, we need Lois to appear dead. How can we do that?' - 'Say didn't we just use some fake deaths to spring some criminals out of prison? We could have Lois take some of that ressurection drug and then she would appear dead. How about that?'
'Nope, better off using a something much more believeable like... oh, freeze drying her with Superman's super breath'.
Nice revelation, Paul. A solid example of the newer trend toward calm and rational revelations (at least calm and rational outwardly

)
