My friend Candy sent me the link to this rather odd story, and we both wondered if the author will be looking for a new job soon. Either they sneaked something past their legions of editors and fact-checkers at Agence France Press, or the reporter is just as inept as their superiors:
A severed human foot has been found in Canada's westernmost Gulf Islands, marking the third such discovery in six months stumped police said Saturday, noting all three are right feet, size 12, male and shod in sneakers.
(Emphasis added)
I don't think the police are the only ones stumped here...

Worse, the police are holding back the critical information that they were all found on dark and stormy nights and that they all appear to be from the same individual....

The only clue so far: The victims are all named Ilene.

An article from June 14, 2000 by the AJC's Cynthia Tucker about the Ray Lewis case that I kept because of its opening paragraph:

Maybe these feet once belonged to the losers of the Canadian Western Regional Hacky-Sack championships? I here betting on Hacky-Sack can get pretty intense...

This article brought back all of those horrid jokes we told as kids..."What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs in a pile of leaves?....Russell" and so on and so forth. That's what I get for reading Drudge every morning.

THREE severed right human feet, all same size with sneakers...
"have yet to determine if foul play is involved" .....bwhahaha
Now my grandmother use to say the expression "walks like he has two left feet."
hmmmmmm... wonder if this is what she meant? lol
Let's just say I can't wait for the movie!!!
