Three die playing catch with grenade
Mon Nov 7, 2005 11:27 AM ET

BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (Reuters) - A hand grenade being used instead of a ball in a game of catch exploded early on Saturday killing three youths in this Bosnian town, police and news agencies said.

Two youths aged 19 and 20, one of them from neighboring Croatia, were killed instantly while a 20-year-old woman died on her way to hospital, police said. Her sister was slightly injured but two other youths suffered serious injuries.

The blast occurred at 2:00 a.m. in the western town of Novi Grad at a place in the town center frequented by youngsters. Police said an inquiry was under way and declined further comment. It was not clear why the grenade exploded.

I am pretty sure it was because it is explosive. I could be wrong. I know nothing about weapons, which is why I have always avoided them

He will always be one of my personal heroes. Let's be honest about it. When you hear of someone playing catch with a grenade, you have to admit that gene pool needed cleansing.

killed three YOUTHS? these weren't children, these were 20 year old adults who should have known better. I think the question is not "why the grenade exploded" but should be "why didn't they realize it it WOULD explode?"

you know... the thought that it "might" explode would have been enough for me. I would think after living in that area with all the war and bombing, they would be a bit more afraid of things like grenades

...could be several reasons for that grenade exploding.
-A) these guys took some heavy drugs.
-B) these guys were suffering from contagious jellybrain disease
-C) The parents of these two did A and/or B while they were still in the womb
-D) they was drunker than f_ _ k
-E) any combination of the above
-F) all of the above

echoing a previous remark, it's good to know these two won't be passing that jellobrain deficiency gene along.
