From Ananova: Hand grenade mistaken for spud

'According to The Sun a company spokesman said: "It is something that we will be looking into with our suppliers. It is obviously not an efficient use of our staff's time if we have to keep evacuating the premises."'

Oh, and they found out how the piano got on top of Ben Nevis. Hurrah for follow-up!

Both the Beeb (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/highlands_and_islands/4998440.stm) and the Times (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2188361,00.html) have fuller reports.

(Without the novelty of their onetime synthesized news reader, Ananova strikes me as mostly crap, particularly since their coverage of what they think is classical music is mostly mockera singers.)
