BEIJING - A hand grenade was used to crack walnuts for 25 years by a villager in China who had no idea what he was using until he saw a photo of a grenade on a leaflet handed out by local police.
The man from Ankang, in China's Shaanxi province, saw that his walnut cracker looked similar to a grenade pictured on a leaflet warning about forbidden explosives, according to Huanqiu.com.
According to villagers, the man used the grenade specifically to crack open the nuts.
People have been commenting on social media site Weibo about the man's lucky escape.
One user wrote: "Why would a friend gift him a bomb?"
Another said: "It's more stable than a Samsung phone."

It would be good for walnuts. It does not take that much force to crack a walnut, so it is not quite as dangerous as they portray. Still, best not have live grenades lying around.
Connie Chung can crack walnuts in her hand. She did it on Letterman back when she and Letterman were somebodies. I think it's on YouTube.
