Crocheted grenades make killing cute!

How cute can a grenade possibly be? About this cute. These crocheted versions of deadly explosives let you re-enact WWII scenarios with something that's fun to squeeze. Even the creator couldn't help but get into the act with the video below.

For a joke, of course. That's what makes it funny. Who knows, maybe he loved it too much? =)

My aunt can...
May 23, 2009. 7:56 PMDoctor What says:
Your aunt should teach me the art of her ways.
May 24, 2009. 12:55 PMcodongolev says:
"hey aunty, can you teach me to crochet?" "why?" "so I can make grenades." end that conversation however you want.
May 26, 2009. 4:22 PMArk22 says:
XD That would be interesting.

My om would like "Sure. What color?" My mom's cool.
May 26, 2009. 4:22 PMArk22 says:
I hate doing that, I'd rather learn how myself.
May 26, 2009. 5:59 PMbowmaster says:

Love the video. Really adorable. Oh for a world of crocheted weapons!
May 20, 2009. 12:15 PMKeith-Kid says:
When they explode, do flowers and puppies come out? If so, then these things can win a war!
May 25, 2009. 9:25 AMprintemps says:
My kinda war -- everything is knitted and crocheted.

May 24, 2009. 12:01 PMArk22 says:
Why so sexist?
May 24, 2009. 12:02 PMArk22 says:
Kidding, but really. Why not just learn how, like I hope to?
May 24, 2009. 2:26 PMKentsOkay says:
I was being funny
May 24, 2009. 4:19 PMArk22 says:
I know. I said I was kidding. But CAN you crochet?
May 26, 2009. 6:56 AMKentsOkay says:
Nope.
May 26, 2009. 4:19 PMArk22 says:
I can, but I need instuctions to do something like this.
May 23, 2009. 7:18 PMDoctor What says:
Here Here! (ish)
May 24, 2009. 2:26 PMKentsOkay says:
:P
May 23, 2009. 5:57 PMcodongolev says:
would you settle for grenades? there's only one E different. :P
May 24, 2009. 2:26 PMKentsOkay says:
lol
May 25, 2009. 12:49 PMcodongolev says:
yeah. I really have a thing about spelling. even when I'm typing on a psp, I'll try to never spell anything wrong (and that includes using lol, "what r u doing", etc.). but the strange thing is, I'll never capitalize anything unless it's the letter I (as in I, I'm, I'll, etc.).
May 26, 2009. 4:27 PMArk22 says:
Same, but I tend to keep the capitals even so.
May 26, 2009. 6:56 AMKentsOkay says:
Odd indeed...
May 23, 2009. 1:39 PMArk22 says:
Great vid, but what if you don't know how to stich? ;)
May 23, 2009. 7:18 PMDoctor What says:
Then you are inspired to learn.
May 24, 2009. 12:03 PMArk22 says:
I know a bit, but I mean, how to make it into something like that? No instructions...
May 20, 2009. 4:01 PMkipluck says:
Adorably disturbing. I need to learn to crochet.
May 20, 2009. 12:31 PMPKTraceur says:
LOL! I wish I knew how to crochet... (Hey, Sunny, Do you have an ible on that?) -PKT
May 20, 2009. 2:22 PMSunbanks says:
Heh, not until I finally learn to crochet :P
May 20, 2009. 10:36 AMkelseymh says:
And the perfect accessory
May 20, 2009. 12:18 PMKeith-Kid says:
OMG! They're secretly arranging a cute army! All hope is lost!!
May 20, 2009. 1:07 PMKeith-Kid says:
Blarg, stupid Adult Swim won't let me watch it cuz I'm not US.....
May 20, 2009. 2:14 PMkelseymh says:
Blargh; sorry. If you have a non-US video site, look for "Care Bear Cleansing" from Robot Chicken.

Terrible idea. How many times will schools be locked down and the bomb squad called in because some soccer mom sees a 12 year old with a grenade strapped to his/her backpack? In a non-crazy world filled with sensible people who don't over-react, this would be cool.
May 20, 2009. 12:17 PMKeith-Kid says:
I don't think you even looked at the pics before you commented. They look like perfume bottles!
May 20, 2009. 11:46 AMLithium Rain says:
They don't look real. At all.
May 20, 2009. 4:36 PMthematthatter says:
Its close enough, real boy hand grenades smile when he sees a pretty girl hand grenade. And yes they have boy and girl grenades, how else would you get more of them. :)
May 22, 2009. 4:29 AMKentsOkay says:
How do they.... multiply without exploding?
May 26, 2009. 4:48 AMthematthatter says:
i would tell you but it would "blow your mind"
May 26, 2009. 10:50 AMKentsOkay says:

LMAO!

I might have been a little pessimistic about it. My college had a lockdown for 6 hours because an art student had a tripod sticking out of his backpack that a teacher saw and thought was a shotgun. Somehow. I just don't have any faith left in the minds of scared Americans.
May 20, 2009. 8:01 PMkelseymh says:
Scared, or just stupid and thoughtless? Or both?
May 21, 2009. 5:41 AMmattthegamer463 says:
Well put. Scared, stupid, thoughtless, and always quick to blame someone else.
May 21, 2009. 6:35 AMPKM says:
It's not just americans- when I was helping some vet students film a play, I was walking around the vet school wearing my black leather jacket with a camera tripod over my shoulder, looking to all the world like a photographer, with someone in a full-body gorilla suit. Somebody naturally assumed we were anti-animal-testing demonstrators about to kick up a fuss (or maybe bomb something), and called in University security. Fortunately they were used to this kind of random happening, checked we all had uni ID and went away chuckling. Good thing they didn't check whether we were actually authorised to be in the labs out of hours...
