A recent suspicious discovery in the woods of Bavaria, while initially triggering fears over its possibly link to WWII, has turned out to be a false alarm, while raising some eyebrows.
A jogger had reported finding a bag containing what looked like a hand grenade in a forest outside the city of Passau, near Germany’s borders with Austria and the Czech Republic, according to German news agency dpa.

A German police bomb squad was called to investigate. The discovery of munitions dating back to the Second World War, that lasted from 1939 to 1945, is a regular occurrence in Germany, even more than 75 years after its end.
However, upon closer inspection, the contents of the bag yielded condoms and a lubricant, helping the experts to determine that the ‘offensive’ weapon was, in fact, a rubber grenade replica.
“An internet search confirmed the suspicion. There are actually sex toys in the form of hand grenades,” said the police in a statement.
Netizens on Twitter were tickled over the ‘kinky’ find.
They've adopted the slogan "kill them with kinkiness"
