Sit, Ubu, Sit. Good Dog.

Be careful when you play fetch with your dog. The results could blow you away.
BERLIN – A dog playing fetch in Germany has found and delivered to its owner a U.S. hand grenade from World War II. Police in the western town of Erkrath said Monday they were called by the dog’s 40-year-old owner who stopped walking her pooch when she recognized the “rusty” object it was carrying was a weapon. Police summoned a munitions expert Sunday to identify and defuse the grenade. (LINK)
Interestingly enough, the dog threw the grenade over the Polish border before barking “Deutschland über alles.”

hah! shoulda tossed it over the western border to France, though.
The Holy Hand grenade of Antioch..For use against those godless cats!
Good one Wyatt!
Smite – And watch the frogs scatter.
Jon – They really have no soul, you know.
All snark aside, there’s a lot of world war 1 ordnance that pops up in France every year, so I’m not surprised that ww2 ordnance pops up in Germany.
As an aside didn’t some Civil War collector blow himself up a while back after digging up a cannonball?
Lesson to be learned: unexploded ordnance is fucking dangerous.
Mess with it yourself at your peril.
