QUIRKY WORLD ... School evacuated after WWII studies go too far

AUSTRIA: School was out — at least temporarily — for about 700 Vienna schoolchildren after one of them brought a hand grenade to class, but it turned out to be a dummy.

Police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer says a lower and middle school were temporarily evacuated after a 14-year-old boy pulled out the grenade from his school bag.

Once at the scene, police and firefighters quickly established that the ordnance was not live and was meant for demonstration purposes.
