What appears to be a separated human foot inside a shoe -- possibly the sixth discovered in Canada's British Columbia in the past 15 months -- has been found on a riverbank, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Wednesday.

That's actually foot number seven. It's pretty weird.

You guys need to keep those "extra feet" on your side of the border! One of 'em washed up near where I'm headed this weekend........

those are some stinky feet.

It's a scam, they don't have feet in B.C. they're on the metric system!

We were once told we are going to switch over, in the 70's if I remember??

Maybe it's our attempt to convert them.

What if all the feet were right feet?

The provincial coroners' service said in July that the five sets of remains found to that point appeared "to have naturally separated (disarticulated) from the body."

Riiiight. Naturally separated feet keep showing up, and only in BC. Perfectly normal, I'm sure.

Ironically the X-Files was filmed in Vancouver and the surrounding area.

If I may add in bad taste some more: Cannucks seem to be a footloose folk!

Disarticulation? Natural causes? I suspect the former owners should be easily found with the strong limp they now have. Unless they regenerate them. Told you those Canadians were all lizards ...

When I lived in Canada, I was always both amazed and somehow amused at the number of machete murders and attacks. They have nowhere near the number of gun murders as the US, even % adjusted for population, but some of the crime up north is just spectacular. Hacking at other humans with a machete seems to be an accepted form of aggression, at least over the last 40 years. The whole thing with some poor kid getting murdered on a bus, and then eaten by his murderer/seat-mate until the cops came was especially amazing.

To be fair there has been a long-standing speculation - probably correct - that the water-logged feet are the by product of bad behaviour on larger ships in international waters, carried by currents to balmy BC.

Vancouver, despite having large parts of it's inner core remodeled to an East German aesthetic, is still a wonderful place. Even with rotting feet floating by on occasion.
