 Granny finds grenade in groceries Granny finds grenade in groceries REUTERS NAPLES, Italy - A 74-year-old Italian grandmother who bought a sack of potatoes at the her local market found a live grenade among the spuds. Police said the pine cone-shaped grenade, which had no pin and was still active, was the same type used by U.S. soldiers in Europe in World War Two. Authorities believe the mix-up happened at a farm in France, where the grenade was plucked from the ground along with potatoes. To the woman's relief, police and explosives experts in the small town of San Giorgio a Cremano, near Naples, recovered the grenade and safely detonated it on Wednesday. But what if she had cooked it?  "If I hadn't felt its weight, I wouldn't even have realized that it was a bomb," she said.
