Surprise from the past! Andrijana Mitrovic from Gmunden, Austria, narrowly escaped injury when a World War II era grenade that was hidden in a log exploded in her wood-burning stove in December 2014. Banned in the US, truckloads of the caffeinated adult beverage Four Loko were recycled into car fuel. It is possible to walk over a bed of coals as hot as 932F (500C) totally unscathed!

I’m pretty sure it’s possible to walk over a bed of coals as hot as 500 C and be TOTALLY SCATHED, too. – worth mentioning?

The way to walk over hot coals and not be scathed, is to wear fire proof shoes!

Taurine is essential for cats, but I doubt they would drink that cr*p.

From the news report about it, it seems that over the years the grenade had lost most of it power. That is why she was not killed.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/01/boom-firewood-contains-world-war-ii-grenade-explodes-in-wood-stove-no-one-hurt/

I’ve read that the hot coals build up a thick layer of ash that keep one’s feet from burning.(I’m still not going to try it, though.)
