In the Movies it starts with your pets and moves on to you

Could the fact that I have two posts on basically the same incident be a coincidence? Maybe! BBC NEWS | Americas | Canada coroner condemns foot hoax:
A severed "foot" in a running shoe found in Canada's British Columbia is not human, the province's coroners service says.

It said the remains found near Campbell River on Vancouver Island on Wednesday belonged to an animal, describing the hoax as "reprehensible".

Five human feet in shoes have been found in the area since last August. All but one were right feet.


Right foot. Wrong species. If it were human, it would not be reprehensible: it would be prehensile-able. No. Wait. That's if they found a hand in a running shoe. Geez. What would a severed hand be doing in a running shoe?

Have they taken a good look at the other five feet? Maybe they threw them into a pile in the in the corner of the coroner's office. Then one day they will say, "You know, maybe we should get rid of theses old shoes -- hey, the feet ain't human!" Because maybe they just thought it was another National Health Service backlog. After 60 years you finally get to the head of the line and they send you down to the Morgue. But in this case people were just hacking off their own feet. And where do you put your severed foot? On the beach. Problem is, your broken toe still tickles even after you cut your foot off, so why do it? I mean, none of this makes sense. People should not operate on themselves. Or others. Or their pets. And as for torture, that just plain should not be allowed to happen in Canada. Well, I've had my say.
