Quote:
A live grenade was found in the chemistry department at my school while I was there. The bomb disposal team turned up and detonated it in the middle of the playing field.

When we told my father (who had been at the same school 42 years before me) about it, he said "we used to have that in our classroom, everyone assumed it was dead".

I thought the usual technique for questionable objects was to (hopefully) cause them to explode by using more explosives... making that bologna sandwich in your lunchsack look like quite a bomb to the uninformed.
Perhaps I'm wrong, though.
/is uninformed
//has a 'dud' grenade (it's empty, I've checked)
