Pretend I Came Up With a Better Headline than Scorpions on a Plane

Jan 10th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

(Thanks to reader Rich for the head’s up):

An American Airlines flight from Miami to Toronto caused a delay at the Canadian city after a scorpion on the aircraft crawled out of a passenger’s backpack and bit someone.  The scorpion was apparently not brought on board intentionally; the passenger had been camping in Costa Rica and apparently brought the little critter back with him.  As long as he was less than 3 ounces, I’m sure security didn’t give him any trouble.
