A man in the German town of Bretten reported finding an unexploded bomb from World War II in his home garden, but his neighbors can rest easy — unless they especially hate vegetables.
德國城鎮布雷滕的一名男子報案指稱，在他家園子裡發現一枚二次世界大戰的未爆彈，不過他的鄰居大可放心—除非他們特別厭惡蔬菜。
The 81-year-old homeowner had contacted officers Friday out of concern he had stumbled upon a decades-old dangerous weapon. It turned out to be a zucchini.
這位81歲的屋主擔心他意外發現的是有數十年歷史的危險武器，而於週五報警。結果它是一條櫛瓜。
Police from Karlsruhe, a city near Bretten, posted about the incident on Facebook, including a photo of the zucchini in question. The police themselves even conceded that the nearly 16-inch squash "really did look very like a bomb," the Associated Press reports.
來自布雷滕鄰城卡斯魯爾的警察，將這起事件張貼在「臉書」上，包括那條櫛瓜的照片。警方甚至承認，這條長近16英寸的瓜「真的看起來很像一枚炸彈，」美聯社報導。
The outlet notes that WWII-era bombs have been unearthed in Germany before, sometimes necessitating evacuations before authorities can defuse them. According to The Telegraph, police suspect someone had chucked the veggie over the homeowner’s hedge.
這家通訊社提到，此前曾在德國挖掘出二戰時期的炸彈，有時當局在拆彈前必須進行疏散。「電訊報」報導，警方懷疑某人將這條櫛瓜丟過屋主的籬笆。
