If you saw the blockbuster last summer, Snakes on a Plane, you were one of 300 people who watched that cinematic Hindenburg. A real event involved a scorpion on a plane.

MONTPELIER, Vt. - A scorpion stung David Sullivan on the back of his right leg, just below the knee, then continued up that leg and down the other, he believes, before getting him again in the shin.

It wasn't what he was expecting on a flight from Chicago to Vermont.

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.

There you go. You can't have more than 3oz. of liquid, but you can carry onboard a scorpion.
