Ananova reports that a German gardener phoned police to report shots being fired in his garden. When police arrived, they too heard the shots, and moved to investigate. The shots turned out to be the seed pods from a large species of wisteria. When the spring weather breaks, the seed pods break open with a loud pop, to spread their seeds. No arrests were made, and the plant was released unharmed.

Well, no wonder Germany didn't want to join our Coalition of the Willing. They have enough trouble wrangling plants with an over active libido.
