An East London street was evacuated over the weekend when engineers discovered what they thought was an explosive device under a fire hydrant.
After calling in bomb experts (and perhaps a squad of Trappist monks), it was revealed the would-be booby trap was actually a prop replica of The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch from Monty Python and The Holy Grail (pictured, right).
In the Python classic, King Arthur (the very late Graham Chapman) summons the sacred relics of Brother Maynard (Eric Idle) to destroy the killer rabbit guarding the Cave of Caerbannog (See Video Below).
By some reports, the toy Globus Cruciger or Sovereign's Ball in modern-day London was defused by an eccentric Enchanter some call Tim.
