Default brewing with grass seed?

So this may sound a little strange, but my buddy has 10# of grass seed he wants to turn into beer...has anyone tried it? I am skeptical as hell, not enough sugar, how do you mill it (he actually wants to bring it to our LHBS!). he says he can malt it.
Is this crazy?

The guys on the Australian podcast craftbrewer radio did a great podcast on malting native grass seeds for an historical beer using all aboriginal ingredients. Unfortunately graham Sanders and company have pulled down ALL their decade worth of podcasts/radio shows and all their online information. So it is lost. But yes the did malt grass seen to mash in a beer.
