This is kind of creepy: authorities in British Columbia, Canada, have found a right foot wearing a sock and sneaker washed ashore near Vancouver. This foot is the fourth discovered in just less than a year:
RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basra of Richmond said on Thursday that the case is one of the strangest she has heard of.
"Well, for us, it's our first time. In my 12 years of service, this is the first time I've seen it," she said about the most recently found foot.
Police are working to trace where the foot came from, Basra said. It could be the result of a suicide, an accident, or foul play.

I suspect this is the work of metric campaigners, seeking to stamp out the foot.
I recommend the police keep a sharp lookout for amputated inches too.
I find it a little hard to believe, though, that these feet just came off the bodies through decomposition, as the authorities say. If that's the case, why is it four right feet? Why no left feet? Why no other body parts?
C'est la vie, or should I say- mort!
There have to be bodies somewhere, or remnants of them or some other sort of trace evidence...or we can put it down to Med students do freaky things...
