Punahou Class of 1984

Ok… this has NOTHING to do with reunion stuff, but now for something completely different:

Pub evacuated after Monty Python prop mistaken for grenade

yeah, really:

Water company engineers spotted the object when they lifted up a fire hydrant cover during work on a street in Shoreditch, east London.

But after nearly an hour of analysis bomb experts realised that the cause of the scare was in fact a copy of the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" used by Eric Idle to slaughter a killer rabbit in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

One, two, five (three sir!).  Actual instructions below the fold.
