Back in March I mentioned a peculiar news item involving right, athletic shoe clad, organs of locomotion washing up on the coast of British Columbia. Get this - A fourth foot was found five days ago.
How creepy is that! 4 human feet in 10 months and police haven't a clue as to where they came from or who they belong to. I'm glad to see the Mounties are no longer treading lightly and are now treating the findings as "suspicious". I guess they're a little more laid back in Canada. I would call the first foot suspicious. A fourth is just unnatural and, quite frankly, freakish.

Curtis Ebbesmeyer, the world's authority on floating, is still involved with the case and providing more Fun Facts too: "When bodies decompose in water they come apart in 10 pieces, two arms, two legs, two feet, the head and the torso. So, given four right feet have been found we have to wonder what's happened to the rest. There should be 40 body pieces, yet all that's being found are right feet." Apparently, Curtis is not a math expert. I'm guessing he's not a hit at cocktail parties either.
Along with the latest foot, one plausible theory has also surfaced. Family members are calling on the cops to investigate a link between the 4 feet and an '05 plane crash, on the northern island of Quadra, where the pilot and 3 passengers remain missing. There could be a connection. However, it's exactly one foot away from factitious. One right foot, that is.
