How Did That Get *There*?

From today's Seattle Times: "Around the Northwest"

"A Kelso man walking his dog found a small black cylinder with a yellow and red stripe. The Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office says it turned out to be an undetonated Japanese mortar shell from the 1930's.

The man said he found the device in a field near the Kelso airport Thursday evening. Authorities called in an ordnance-disposal unit from Fort Lewis, which took the shell to a safe area and detonated it early Friday."

Wild.
