What a Freaking Moron!!

He is lucky to have survived. Had he been hurt, the nearest hospital with an ER is almost an hour away by ambulance. IF the ambulance happened to be there. The Palouse Falls is about 35 miles from anywhere. The main reason he tried it there is the lack of regular law enforcement patrols.

I wasn't that impressed after the first few issues. Unlike "real" zombies the Marvel variety just would not shut up and be zombies. Despite being dead/undead they kept up the patter, bad jokes, puns, generally sounding like business as usual.

These little toys were quite popular with the opium and absinthe set in late 19th century Paris. The stereotype of the guy in the beret and striped shirt, slapping and throwing around his girlfriend as they danced something like a tango was a reflection of the urban Parisian thugs who carried this appliance. Some of the wilder gangs were dubbed "Apaches" by the gendarmes--partly for the weapon and partly for their behavior. About then that slap-dancing tango became known as the "Apache Dance."

It is a Guava Bomblet. They were made of thousands of amall steel balls cast into a metal matrix. the little fins helped ompart a spin as they were 'dispensed' from their bonb casing. Upon impact they would shatter spreading a nasty spray like buckshot at whomever or whatever was in its way.
The blue paint indicates it was part of an inert training bomb.
