Here's what happens when a shell from a 16" gun bounces into your front yard

Pic's up now Charles. Wow, at least it bounced instead of exploding! That would have made a real mess!
On a side note, my wife used to work for the company that's coordinating the clean up of spent ordnance at APG. They say it'll take 20-30 years before everything has been retrieved and disposed of.

Missing from the photo are the two freckly-faced kids poking the shell with a stick, with a third running over with a hammer.
