Pub is closed by Monty Python 'Holy hand grenade of Antioc'


BUILDINGS were evacuated, a street was cordoned off and a bomb disposal team called in after workmen spotted a suspicious object.

But the dangerous-looking weapon turned out to be the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, made famous in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

Police and a fire crew were first on the scene in Shoreditch, east London, when water company workers found a copy of the film prop under a fire hydrant cover.


How does someone from East London not recognize the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioc? :lol:

I love the movie but they probably didn't care to get a close enough look at it to recognize it

I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but do you remember what the Holy Hand Grenade looked like? It was a ball with a jeweled cross on top of it. I mean, if I were to see it, unless I recognized it as the Holy Hand Grenade, it would never occur to me that it was a bomb. And if I did recognize it as the Holy Hand Grenade, I certainly wouldn't think it's a bomb either.



This line still cracks me up...

"Oh Lord. Bless this hand grenade, that with it thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."

In thy mercy... :lol: That's just great writing.

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy."

And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu...

"skip a bit, brother"

... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.

Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Five is right out.

Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen…

ONE! TWO! FIVE!

THREE Sire!

THREE!

San Francisco called the bomb squad in last week, closed streets, and cleared the block....over what?

A lawn chair with a cushion leaned on it.
