You would think that would go without saying, but apparently not.  Reuters reports that eight members of the Miskovic family of Danilovgrad, Montenegro, were slightly injured when the WWII shell they were using as a table leg exploded. 

Says Milovan Miskovic, "It was our own idea to replace the missing leg with this cannon grenade.  We thought it was harmless ... it was here in our courtyard for some 50 years. [But] all of a sudden, we heard a loud bang and then everything went black."
