11.5. I like how these "youths" were 19 & 20

 

That makes sense. Most 19 & 20 year olds are pretty immature (so was I at the time, even if I wouldn't admit it).

 

I figured they might have called them something besides youths.

 

OK, I have a hypothesis. Perhaps they didn't realize it was a hand grenade in this game since they were playing at 2 o'clock IN THE FAWKING MORNING!!!!!

 

"Hey, why does this rock have a pin?"

 

"I don't know, what happens if we take it out?"

 

"What's that ticking sound?"

 

they'd don't tick, it's not rocky and bowinkle

 

Heh, I know.

 

Verify your target, pull pin, release spoon, cook (if applicable), throw and seek cover.

 

What's "cook" do?

 

Put it in a lightbulb and heat with a lighter.

 

You're burning off the fuse so that the grenade will explode at the exact time it hits the target. You do this so there isn't time for them to throw it back. God forbid the enemy try and return one of my grenades. Good bye upper torso/head/arm. I always cook mine.

 

Is there a standard time limit on grenades?
