PUB EVACUATED OVER HOLY HAND GRENADE
03.23.09A pub in east London was evacuated when some constuction workers found a holy handgrenade under a fire hydrant cover.
The road was cordoned off and a nearby pub was evacuated amid fears that the “grenade” could explode. But after nearly an hour of analysis bomb experts realised that the cause of the scare was in fact a copy of the “Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch” used by Eric Idle to slaughter a killer rabbit in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail. The fictional weapon looks more like a golden ornament than a hand grenade; it was based on the Sovereign’s Orb used at royal coronations [Editor's Note: England is silly]. The prop has become a popular in-joke among Python fans and replicas can be bought on eBay for as little as £14. [Telegraph]
I really have nothing to add to this other than that I think the “holy handgrenade” should be a sex act of some kind. Maybe if the girl squeezes your nuts into a taut ball and holds a rabbit vibrator to them until you explode everywhere. Just trying to keep it classy and highbrow here, folks.
