Canadian military and police are investigating after a package containing a brand new hand grenade, belonging to the army, was found in a suburban backyard.

A woman in the Edmonton, Alberta, discovered the suspicious package on Sunday and took it to her local police station, where officers told her to carefully place it on the lawn.

Police called in the bomb squad, which determined the item was a grenade, still in its packaging and belonging to the Canadian military…

Edmonton police spokeswoman Patrycia Chalupczynska said, “We want to advise people that if they ever do find something suspicious-looking, they shouldn’t touch it — just leave it alone and call police.”

NSS!

    It’s sad that we make these even though we know exactly how dangerous they are.

    too bad she didn’t use it to blow up a Republican because then you’d really have something to talk about! 😉

    Never mind Edmonton
    You would not believe what goes on in Winnipeg

    The Peg is a special kind of place :p

    The French immediately surrendered.

    Probably fell out of a Canadian military helicopter.

    It could have been worse – an atom bomb! Not that planes with live atom bombs are allowed to fly willy nilly around the country, of course.

    Isn’t this what most FPS games teach us? That we can find ammo and weapons laying on the ground?

  8. chuck says:

    Yeh, but it was a Canadian hand-grenade.
    When you pull the pin, it asks politely if you want it to explode.
    Then it apologizes.

  9. Rick Cain says:

    I have always wondered what kind of people can’t recognize a hand grenade by sight. Now we know.

    If it was a cluster munition I would have let her off the hook, since the USA designs theirs to look like children’s toys so the enemy’s kids think they’re balls or playthings and pick them up.
