Line the inside rim of a frisbee with as many heavy marbles as you can fit. Cover that line with a thin rim of plastic explosive, distributing the weight as evenly as possible. Rig a detonator and balance it as well as you can. Now THAT's a fun day at the park ....

The word "car" long predates the horseless carriage. "Carre" was present in Middle English, with pretty much the modern meaning, except that a carre in Chaucer's time was unlikely to be motorized. It's not a shortening of "carriage"... "carre" derived directly from Latin "carra".

''Nades" annoys me because I keep reading it as "'nads", and I really don't want to think about using those as thrown weapons.

Note that the 'stick' type grenades can be thrown much farther than the 'baseball' type grenades. So you might want to count them as aerodynamic grenades...

I was going to mentiong Panzerwürfmine and similar throwing explosives which fly head-first, but decided against it since SR Aerodynamic Grenades are always Frisbees of Doom.

I wouldn't advise shortening United Kingdom to England if you happen to be in Great Britain.

oddly, i've always envisioned aerodynamic grenades as explosive lawn darts.
