when given an old mortar shell by a friend it takes some creativity to come up with the best to use it. A gentlemen in Sapporo came with a good one. He used it as a door stopper.
In this age of mass consumption where wasteful packaging is overused and people pour perfectly clean water over themselves for attention on the Internet, one of the best ways to counteract our increasingly wasteful society is to simply reuse items that would otherwise be headed for the dump.
But one wannabe environmentalist in Sapporo may have taken his pledge to save the earth a little bit too far when he “recycled” an old Japanese Imperial Army bomb into a rustic, and extremely dangerous, door stopper.
Last month, Hokkaido Prefectural Police got a call from a very worried woman when she realized that a cute-looking door stopper in her house was actually an old bomb. Apparently the woman’s husband never told her that a door in their house was being propped open with an explosive he received as a “gift from an acquaintance” over 20 years ago.
In case your wondering the explosive material hadn't been removed.
