Hungarian police announced Monday they had seized a shipment of weapons stored in a warehouse near Budapest airport, only for a film producer to reveal they were props for a new Brad Pitt movie.
Police told a press conference they had found and confiscated the arsenal — which included machine guns, handguns and sniper guns but no ammunition — at a customs-free area near the airport during a raid at dawn on Monday.
“The military guns arrived from London on Saturday at Liszt Ferenc International Airport,” Janos Hajdu, director of the police’s Counterterrorism Centre, was cited by Hungarian newswire MTI, adding that the aircraft transporting the weapons left the airport right after unloading.

The Hungarian police had contacted its counterparts in Britain for more information, he also said.
As it turns out, the weapons were actually meant as props for a new zombie movie featuring Hollywood star Brad Pitt, World War Z, a film producer told local television RTL Klub.
Shooting in Hungary for the film was to begin Monday evening in an industrial district of Budapest, according to RTL Klub.

匈牙利警方週一宣布,他們在布達佩斯機場附近倉庫查獲一批武器,一名電影製片隨後透露,這批武器是布萊德‧彼特新電影的道具。
警方在記者會上表示,他們週一清晨在機場附近海關免稅區的一場突襲中,查獲並沒收這批軍械,種類涵蓋機槍、手槍與狙擊步槍,但無任何彈藥。
匈牙利通訊社MTI引用警察反恐中心指揮官亞諾許‧海度的話說:「這批軍用槍枝週六從倫敦運到Liszt Ferenc國際機場。」並補充說運送武器的飛機在卸貨後旋即飛離。
匈牙利警方已聯繫英國警方,取得更多資訊。
最後結果顯示,該電影製片告訴當地RTL Klub電視台說,這批武器其實是用來拍攝一部由好萊塢影星布萊德‧彼特主演殭屍電影《殭屍世界大戰》,所使用的道具。
根據RTL Klub電視台,該電影在匈牙利的場景,原定週一傍晚在布達佩斯的一處工業區開拍。
製片表示,拍片進度並未因為警方查緝而延後。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be

The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
