| 2007-10-09 |
 A Palestinian boy was seriously injured in the Gaza Strip on Monday after playing with a tank shell. According to Israel Radio, the boy brought the shell into his home in southern Gaza, where he and several other boys played with it. Four of the boy's friends were lightly injured in the incident. The IDF Spokesman said in response that there were no tank shells fired into the Gaza Strip on Monday. |

| #6 Highly unlikely it was a "Tank" shell, or that it came from an Israeli Merkava or similar type. Those shells weigh over 60 lbs. Unless this was a rather stout paleo "boy", he couldn't just carry this thing around. More likely a paleo mortar shell. |

| #4 Kids, even non-Paleos, aren't generally too bright. I was luckier than these - the shotgun shells I found and took apart didn't blow up. |
