Quote, originally posted by MercuryNews » SAN CLEMENTE — Authorities have found a grenade on Interstate 5 in Orange County and have shut down the freeway in both directions. California Highway Patrol Officer Eric Barnard said today that it was unclear whether the grenade in San Clemente was live or inert.
The Sheriff Department's bomb squad and Marines from Camp Pendleton arrived on scene to investigate.
Barnard says the grenade was discovered about 11:15 a.m. and authorities closed the freeway about 15 minutes later.
Motorists are being diverted off the highway at Avenida Vista Hermosa. Traffic is backed up in both directions for at least five miles.
Wondered where I left that damn thing.....

Apparently it has been removed by a robot, so it is now safe to proceed to your usual I5 traffic jam.

Was it a real grenade, or like an actual running 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood with a V8 diesel?

Well, there was no explosion and a chunk of the I-5 missing...so while you can't say it wasn't live...it obviously still had the pin in it.

i thought there would be mention of a Corrado g60 in the article..

Based on the thread title, I was hoping for a really ugly chick standing in the middle of the road.

People in LA are the only ones that say that.
It's annoying.
"So, you need to take, the 5 to the 880 to the 680 to the 405 to the 1."
Why do you all put the "the" in there? There is no need for it
#19
Never been able to figure that out myself. Seems unique to SoCal though....

How did they even find the grenade? Was someone driving by and thought, "Hey... that thing on the side of the road looks like a grenade?"
#21
lol makes sense since camp p is right there.. looks like one fell of the truck![]()

When I moved down here, that bugged me too. I'll catch myself saying it once in a while.

Why? Because it's logically and grammatically correct, that's why
... This was once a many-page thread on Honda-Tech, with SoCal people attempting to explain it and the rest going nuts, until it was discovered that the REST OF THE DAMN WORLD uses "the" as well.
Example:
Incorrect - Take apple
Correct - Take the apple.Incorrect - Take I-5
Correct - Take the 5.
This happened in SoCal, so I fixed it
