Pretty cool trick. Amplify’d from lifehacker.com How to Create a Portable Hackintosh on a USB Thumb Drive People put linux on their flash drives all the time.

With a distribution of OS X 10.6.2 called iPortable Snow, we can. You should now be able to boot from your thumb drive just like you would a live Linux thumb drive. Instead of booting into your computer's OS, you'll get the Chameleon screen with a few choices. iPortable Snow is designed to work on most Intel-based computers, though some video cards won't have advanced features (like 3D gaming) out of the box.
