Scorpions on a Plane!!
A man flying on United between Chicago and Burlington, Vermont, was stung twice by a scorpion that made it onto his plane.
TSA agents were able to wrestle the interloper to the deck and rescue the hapless passengers. They frisked the scorpion, wanded him, paraded him through a metal detector, then released him and wished him a pleasant connecting flight.
Shockingly, it's not the first time. On Sunday, an American Airlines plane from Miami to Toronto was delayed at its destination because a scorpion got on board lacking a passport, and presumably riding without paying full fare.
