A resident found 32 live grenades? After finding the first one, I would have called somebody to come take care of it, rather than digging around for more.

Hence, another good name for a rock band "Exploding Clams"

"No homeowners have been injured, but three servicemen from an explosive ordnance unit at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware were hospitalized last July while detonating the projectile, which contained potentially lethal mustard gas."
Yeah, well, my neighborhood has gophers!

"Some grenades were actually found inside the clams."
Big clams.

i think the best GNFARB in that article was definitely "Mollusk Munitions"

"We're worried about kids playing kick the ball in the driveway,"
That's ok. All the kids are inside playing X Box and Game Cube.

This could come in handy for the Johovah's Witnesses that keep coming around my house this time of year.

Considering that it's WW I ordanance, it's British and French origins shouldn't be surprising. The "French 75" was a common artillery piece with several armies, including our own... what really wouldn't surprise me is to find out that it all came off a returning troopship when everyone was told to dump their "souvenirs" overboard or face charges.
That would be typical of the Army or Marines.
