Green Day CD helps girl avoid grenade disaster.
Green Day single-handedly resurrected 1970s punk.

Now, the Berkeley, Calif.-born troupe has saved an actual life. In fact it's their album art that saved the life of one Ruby Wilson. The 12-year-old British fan was cleaning up the garden at her family home in Halifax, Yorkshire, when she found "what looked like a round metal object," she told Halifax Today.

She could have played with it. But she quickly realized her find "looked like a hand grenade."

She learned this life lesson from the CD cover for Green Day's explosive rock opera "American Idiot," which shows a hand holding a bleeding, heart-shaped grenade. (Don't think Ruby's was bleeding.)
