There are limits to intelligence
But none to stupidity:
A military shell given to a group of children by a neighbor exploded while they played with it, killing two children and injuring five others, police and witnesses said.Even if that were true, why would anyone think that a 40 mm shell is an appropriate toy for eight-year-olds?
...
Frank Sendejo, who lives near the apartment complex where the explosion occurred, said Wednesday he had given a group of children a 40 mm shell. Police said they have talked with Sendejo.
Sendejo told The Bakersfield Californian that he thought the shell was spent and often used it as a "conversation piece." He said the firing pin and bottom shell casing had been removed, along with the gun powder inside.
"I thought it was harmless," he told the newspaper.
