The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Back in 2012: A Toddler Finds Live WWII Grenade on Easter Egg Hunt

From the April 7, 2012, Mail (UK) "Toddler on Easter egg hunt stumbles on a live grenade...which has to be blown up by bomb squad."

A three-year-old boy was found standing on it. as an Easter egg hunt with more than 25 kids under the age of 5 were on hand.

The World War II grenade was found just yards off busy A39 after the child spotted it while looking for eggs and thought it was on.

The big question was how did it get there.

One reader commented that there was an American Army base nearby.

Another said to "Track down the Easter Bunny and Terminate him with Eggstreme prejudice."

Oh, Well, It Could Have been a Horrible Thing.  --GreGen
