My favorite quote of this article, "it looked like an Easter, but it was a hand grenade"

Was it an American or British Grenade?

Of course the easter bunny is evil. Why else would he be five feet tall and all ways smiling.

That has git to be a WWII grenade from someones illegal collection, how did it get in a street rather then dropped in the Thames (illegal disposal of illegal material??). It sure as hell didn't lay in the street since 1945. Like someone (collector) dies and he heirs knowing what it was, wanted to just make it disappear Like, Oh I don't know, drop it in the Thames. Was it blown in place or just carted off?

It could be an evil terrorist plot, dropped by the gang that couldn't shoot straight, but if anyone thought it was, it would never have made it into the public knowledge.

There was a 1 ton bomb found in France recently. Left over from the Germans. Not surprising that ordanance left overs from 3 generations ago are showing up. There was alot of supplies moving through England on its way to France and Europe. The kid is lucky that it didn't explode. After the war people brought back souveniers and then in time discarded them. From time to time people cleaning out an attic or basement will find left over ordanance. It does create quite stir with the law enforcement community.

Considering the numbers of troops live-fire training all over England prior to the Normandy invasion, I'm not surprised that this grenade popped up. Looks to be an American Mark 2 "pineapple" style. Europe probably will have this sort of thing for a looong time to come.

Thank goodness it was not dyed pink and painted with stripes.

Chad, you should get hold of the old Jimmy Stewart movie I believe called "Harvey". Jimmy's relationship with his buddy, a nine foot tall imaginary rabbit might help you. Check with your therapist.
