Pub is closed by Monty Python grenade
Tony Bassett
19.03.09

BUILDINGS were evacuated, a street was cordoned off and a bomb disposal team
called in after workmen spotted a suspicious object.

But the dangerous-looking weapon turned out to be the Holy Hand Grenade of
Antioch, made famous in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

Police and a fire crew were first on the scene in Shoreditch, east London,
when water company workers found a copy of the film prop under a fire hydrant
cover.

They evacuated a pub and another building in Tabernacle Street, while office
staff in another building were stopped from leaving.

But when the bomb squad arrived, they quickly established there was no danger
and the street was declared safe. In the film, the grenade was used to
slaughter a killer rabbit. Python actor Eric Idle had filmgoers in stitches
as he said: "Oh Lord. Bless this hand grenade, that with it thou mayest blow
thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."

Alberto Romanelli, who owns the Windmill pub nearby, said the police action
in ordering his pub to be evacuated had been as ridiculous as the film scene.
"They evacuated the pub while they were doing X-rays and stuff," he said.

"It all lasted about 45 minutes before they decided it was nothing - which I
thought was pretty obvious from the start. I lost a good hour's worth of
business."

Emma Eve, a training centre receptionist, said: "It was scary. They wouldn't
let us out of the building." Office worker Graham White said: "The situation
was nearly as crazy as the film."

Former Python Michael Palin, who appeared in the film, said: "Our Holy Hand
Grenade was fictional and there were no plans for creating one. We don't want
to add to the armaments of the world."

An Islington police spokeswoman said: "There was no danger to the public. The
device is believed to be an object known as a Holy Hand Grenade." Copies of
the prop can be bought on the internet for ￡4 or you can make your own by following the instructions in a five-minute video
on YouTube.

In the film, before the grenade is used, Idle says: "And the Lord spake,
saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to
three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the
number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither
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. Amen.'"

速翻：

倫敦警察緊急疏散了一間pub裡的所有人，並封街長達45分鐘，原因是把聖杯傳奇中的神聖

手榴彈當作疑似爆裂物。

pub老闆：「警察的行動跟電影場景一樣蠢。」
