Some Schemes Always Bomb Out
This isn’t a case of hoe, hoe, hoe. Romanian firefighters were shocked to learn a farmer was using an unexploded missile as an anvil. The 122mm calibre missile, discovered by the man in his garden in Puieni village, Giurgiu county, a few months ago, had been used for sharpening hoes and scythes. The missile was destroyed in a controlled explosion by an army bomb squad.

OK, nerd patrol, arriving. That would be a BM-13/21 rocket, commonly kalled a "Katyusha". Russian/Soviet production standards being what they've always been, there were LOTS of duds left lyin' around after the Great Patriotic War.
