Lady goes to buy some potatoes at her grocery store and finding a live grenade. Fucking sweet.

Police said the pine cone-shaped grenade, which had no pin and was still active, was the same type used by U.S. soldiers in Europe in World War Two.
It didn't look like a potato and it was heavier than one. But what if she had cooked it?

"If I hadn't felt its weight, I wouldn't even have realized that it was a bomb," she said.

I love potatoes, but bombs suck!

I wonder how it got there? They must have shipped those potatoes from a country where war is happening, and some bastard put one in to get back at an American. Terrorism via. food! :p

the spuds came from france, and it was a WWII era hand grenade...apparently a skirmish occured there back in '42 and now spuds are farmed there.

It probably got stuck in the ground all these years and when they were picking potatoes, they probably didn't even notice. If you pick potatoes out the ground all day, everything probably starts to look like one. :p

I prefer fried potatoes myself. Where they get crispy on the outside but nice and fluffy on the in...Mmmmm. :rasta:

Yeah, there are alot of places like that, I went to Colorado and one place we visited to rent sow mobiles to go on a route set by the company used to be some sort of artillary training site during WWII and they had signs evrey where warning of live undetinated ordinance. Their office walls had pictures of shells that where found all over the property. If I rmember right they said they ussually find somewhere around 5 are found each year
