Japanese finds scorpion in jeans
Found on BBC News on Monday, 18 December 2006
A Japanese woman trying on a pair of jeans in a shop got a shock when she was stung by a scorpion hidden inside.
The woman, on the southern island of Okinawa, ended up in hospital for five days as a result of the sting, which was not life-threatening.
Officials told the Mainichi Daily News that the woman, who was not named, felt a sudden pain in her right knee as she tried the trousers on.
When she rubbed the area with her hand, the scorpion then stung her right index finger.
This was probably a testrun for a new reality or game show. Japanese are strange like that (even though Japan is a neat country).
