| #6 Not long after I move back from Germany, I read that a (fairly new) parking garage somewhere north of Frankfurt (don't remember which city now, but it was a fairly large one) just exploded/imploded one day. They finally concluded it was from an old WWII bomb that had somehow survived all the construction. Ouch. |

| #4 I've played with 1000 pound schtuff, mines that were 20+ years old, and mines exposed for 3-5 years. 4000 pounds of 60+ year-old ordnance, with a detonator exposed to mud and water... no thank you. Not news... Meh. |

| #3 That sounds like a "cookie" to me and you don't want to mess around with one of them. A Lancaster would drop one of them and a bunch of smaller bombs in one raid. Four thousand pounds of unstable explosives and the fusing bits and pieces underneath it and stuck in the mud. No thanks. |

| #2 ..except we're now dealing with a generation that doesn't even know about WWII - for example the pejorative they hurl at others actually stands for National Socialist Workers Party. |
