I spent my brains on math today, but I still have a story to share. Fortunately, it's not my story.
But first, a quick quiz. What's the most appropriate way to remember a brief but traumatic period of shelling in your home city?
a. A new-found appreciation for life.
b. Gratitude that you and your loved ones were spared.
c. An active rocket head in your living room.
If you went with c, you'll find you have something in common with the guy in the story told here:
http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/247760
For English speakers, the basics:
Guy lives through war, guy finds rocket head containing several kilograms of explosives, guy decides best use of rocket head is to be kept in his living room as a combination souvenir/toy for his young children (yes, really).
Ultimately, guy is robbed of a richly deserved Darwin Award by a neighbor who happens to be a police sapper who overhears someone mentioning his "souvenir" during a basketball game.
Police demolish rocket; police are forced to issue the most superfluous warning to the public since they started putting nut allergy alerts on peanut butter.
Since the star of our story has kids, he's probably married. Too bad, he might have been a good match for cockroach lady.
