My left foot and yousin's right.

This sounds like a coincidence to me:

BBC NEWS | Americas | Sixth human foot found in Canada
Another human foot encased in a running shoe has been found on the shores of British Columbia in Canada, the second this week and the sixth within a year.

Like four of the others it was a right foot, a police official said.

The foot was found near Campbell River on Vancouver Island and appeared to have been severed, a witness said.

Police, who are not speculating on this, are trying to determine the origins of the feet and whether they (sic?) are any links between the discoveries.


Ever since that WMD intelligence fiasco in Iraq officials are not going out on a limb about anything. After all, it's possible six people decided separately to separate their foot and toss it out on the beach. And is that even a crime? I mean, if you get beyond the littering angle. But maybe they were just feeding the wildlife. Still, there is the problem of the running shoe. That would be litter, not crab food.

Another fact that points toward coincidence is that one left foot. This approximates the level of left handedness in the general population. My advice to the police: go down to the mall or wherever and question people who have recently lost a foot. Ask them where they lost it. And their shoe size.
