I'm just waiting for some tabloid headline UNITED CREW CLUB BABY SEALS TO DEATH BEFORE USING THE CARCASSES TO BEAT KITTENS TO DEATH.

Oscar will quickly apologize for having to reaccommodate the baby seals and kittens while United's PR team will simultaneously point out that their CoC allows this.

@WorldLux You think I'd be screaming like Rush Hour Chris Tucker? No, I'd be screaming like Fifth Element Ruby Rhod Chris Tucker

I've been stung by scorpions. NOT fun. But the ones in TX are not poisonous, just painful. You better believe I shake my pants out that I have hung on the floor.

Maybe they are trialling a new method of removing IDBs from the plane without having to call the cops...

He was flying from Mexico. It was probably in his own luggage in the overhead.

I wonder what kind it was? It's the little whitish/clear ones that are the most painful and dangerous.

Of course, if one of those giant armored ones dropped on his head, everyone would have seen it and panic would've ensued.

Still makes me laugh to this day. I would however freak out if there would be a snake. Can't stand them. (Which is why this news freaked out me).
This reminds of the time I was taking a city bus to work and a roach climbed out of a passenger's pant leg. It sent the women next to him into a panic and she started screaming,"ROACH, ROACH" and ran up to the front of bus to get the driver to stop so she could get off.
