Scorpions On a Plane. Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker Unavailable for Comment

I will not use a cliched epithet uttered by one of our generation's greatest acting talents (Samuel L. Jackson) to describe this story. Nope, you can't make me. It's safe to say though Douglas Herbstsommer of Gilbert, AZ will be more careful packing his carry on baggage in the future, after being stung by a scorpion which had hitched a ride in his bag. Seems the mama scorpion gave birth to a brood of five more little stingers mid-flight to Indianapolis. Southwest Airlines did the sensible thing and fumigated the plane after it landed, it was the only way to be sure. The arthropod involved in this panic was a venomous Arizona Bark Scorpion. German metal band The Scorpions were not involved as they are currently on tour in Europe.
