The Fifth Human Foot - Gross to Investigate?

Vancouver Podiatric Puzzler

In what has to be one of the most bizarre ongoing news stories of the past year, the AP today reported that another human foot has been washed up off the coast of British Columbia.

This is the fifth in less than 12 months. Just like the others, the foot does not appear to have been forcibly removed from the leg. Like the others, the foot was found inside a trainer (aka 'sneaker'). Unlike the others, this is a left foot.

This casts serious doubts on oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer’s claim that it may not be a coincidence they were found in the same area as left foot wear and right foot wear float differently.

If you are furrowing your brows right now, don't worry, you are not alone.

The rumours that Constable Benton Fraser of the Royal Candian Mounted Police is being taken off the search for the graves of the missing Franklin expedition to apply his olfactory investigatory skills are unsubstantiated at the time of writing this post.
