Workers in a British french fry cutting plant were evacuated on Saturday after a hand grenade and pieces of a bomb from World War II were found in sacks of potatoes waiting to be cut up."The army took the device away and blew it up in a controlled explosion in a field nearby," a spokeswoman for the North Yorkshire police said.
The reason that this occurred? The potato field is in a part of France once heavily used in WWII battles, and every now and then ordnance from the time period turns up in potato sacks mostly because they too are found underground with the spuds and are roughly the same size.
No word as to why the French and British are making such a news splash today.
