A worried resident in Germany alerted police to what he thought was a World War II bomb in his garden. Officers rushed over — and found a particularly large zucchini.
Police were summoned to the scene in Bretten, near the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, on Thursday morning by an 81-year-old man.
They said in a statement Friday that officers determined “the object, which really did look very like a bomb” was actually a nearly 16-inch zucchini.
The offending vegetable, which was very dark in color, weighed about 11 pounds. Police believe someone threw it over a hedge into the garden.
Unexploded wartime bombs are unearthed frequently during construction work in Germany, often forcing authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of residents while they are defused.

Neighborhood women, those in comfortable shoes, “all gathered around and gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found!”
Why not?
The Germans mistake head hopping, murdering, rapists and child molesters for simple innocent refugees trying to find a better life.
Zucchini grow funny that way. One day it’s the size of a gherkin. The next day you can
slice it lengthwise, hollow it out a bit and use it as a canoe.
Send it to Germany. They will know exactly what to do.
Imagine the terror if they had found their wife’s “personal massager”
The women all said….that’s a big one

He knew it was a zucchini. He was just proud and wanted others to make a big deal over it.
