Crocs on a Plane! (The Obvious Egyptian Sequel)

An EgyptAir flight out of Abu Dhabi was nearly overrun by a baby crocodile en route to Cairo recently. Okay, "overrun" might be a stretch, but you saw what happened when they let those damn snakes on the plane, right?

Anyway, apparently someone had the foot-long baby croc in their hand luggage and the sucker wriggled free, started running up and down the isles and caused a panic among the passengers. Because, as you know, crocodiles and alligators -- even baby ones -- are freaking scary.

The EgyptAir flight crew eventually wrangled up the animal -- apparently it's much more kosher to tackle a grown man who's naked than it is to kick a baby crocodile -- and none of the passengers claimed the croc, probably because it's absolutely, 100% illegal to transport exotic animals in and out of Egypt (hence keeping a foot-long freaking gator in your hand-held luggage).

Anyway, when reached for comment, Samuel L. Jackson had this to say: "I. Smell. A Sequel. SON."
