WHERE'S SAMUEL L. WHEN YOU NEED HIM?:
Scorpion on a plane! (DAVID GRAM, 1/09/07, Associated Press)
A scorpion bit David Sullivan on the back of his right leg, just below the knee, then crawled up and down his left leg, he thinks, before getting him again in the shin.Not what he was expecting on his flight home from Chicago to Vermont.
Mr. Sullivan, a 46-year-old builder from Stowe, was aboard the United Airlines flight on the second leg of his trip home from San Francisco, where he and his wife Helena had been visiting their sons. He awoke from a nap shortly before landing and noticed something strange.
"My right leg felt like it was asleep, but that was isolated to one spot, and it felt like it was being jabbed with a sharp piece of plastic or something."

I did see a most unpleasant looking pig on a train in China about 10 years ago. It didn't bite me, however.

Sure it does. Murder on the Orient Express. Not only that, but there were 13 suspects.
