Sad but true.

Then there was the case of the two Belgian garage mechanics who discovered an unexploded shell and attempted to remove the fuze and scoop out the HE and presumably sell the shell as a souvenir. Being somewhat mechanically minded, they determined to remove the fuze by heating the shell casing with a propane torch. What was left of the mechanics was washed from the ceiling of the workshop with a garden hose.

Be careful around unexploded ordinance, the world is full of it!
