Fascinating! Here's a picture of a Greek one.
This one is dated from the first millennium, AD.

My two daughters went to their grammar school Halloween party dressed in cardboard and tinfoil armor.....and coconuts.
While trotting along, clipping away, the female teachers would ask then what they were doing and who they were.
“We’re knights! And these are our horses!!!”
Teachers: “ Uh...oh....that’s.....interesting (eyerolls)
It was their favorite movie. Gotta start ‘m young.

“However, some experts believe that so-called ancient grenades were actually used to contain perfume.”
It seems even in those days they had peaceniks.

Please don’t quote all the verses. You may skip a bit." I'm good. No chance of messing it up:
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
One!... Two!... Five!

45 replies and there wasn’t a proper Holyhandgrenade keyword?
Fixed.

I LOVE that scene. Hard to pick an all time favorite. The “Romanes eunt Domus” Latin lesson from Life of Brian, IMHO might slightly edge out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, but it’s a tough call.

The only time I really enjoyed a Monty Python skit was in college, with a bunch of friends, listening to it on the radio. Most of the friends were, how shall I say it, 3 sheets to the wind. Their reactions were hilarious.
