+ Show Spoiler +BUILDINGS were evacuated, a street was cordoned off and a bomb disposal team called in after workmen spotted a suspicious object.
But the dangerous-looking weapon turned out to be the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, made famous in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
Scary. 0.0
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Wouldn't it be great if the bomb squad arrives, takes a look at it and then one of the brighter chaps says:
"Hey I recognize that... Isn't that a weapon in Worms?"

Suprised that it was not Boston overreacting this time.

Former Python Michael Palin, who appeared in the film, said: "Our Holy Hand Grenade was fictional and there were no plans for creating one. We don't want to add to the armaments of the world."
That doesn't sound like something he'd say. I wouldn't be surprised if this entire story were made up :O

I agree, but the date posted was March 19, 2009. A little early to be an April Fool's joke.

Emma Eve, a training centre receptionist, said: "It was scary. They wouldn't let us out of the building." Office worker Graham White said: "The situation was nearly as crazy as the film."

Bad journalism doesn't need to wait for April Fools.
