People - read it again. "For men". They had to say, "for men" - WTF is happening to society?!

#5, Ok - I don't understand this - I think the 6th (paw?) is a hoax too. I don't get where you're going (or coming from) with that comment. And as an aside - hunting is *not* a "big thing" around there. I've lived there. There's lots of pot, hippies and Americans fishing for salmon - hunting is popular much further north. People are too environmental in Southern and Central BC for hunting.

#4 - You have a point, if it is indeed a woman's foot that was found. Oh wait - the 6th (animal foot) was reported to be a woman's foot. So 1 through 5 are male feet, all left and thus all from different people.

Also - I'm wrong to state that all shoes were sneakers - but all feet found had shoes with rubber soles and were buoyant.

#4 - and those loggers weren't working - they were travelling by plane.

#2 - good catch, but the 1st link is just to an "as previously reported" thing on BoingBoing - the main story link is the last one in the post where it links to a CNN report of the hoax.

And now the linkie - must have been parsed at BB HQ:

That's the crash of a float plane in 2005 that others have referred to here.

The 6th foot is a lie!

It doesn't make the story of the previous five any less disturbing or mysterious, but there may be a plausible explanation - there was a crash of a float plane in 2005:

Five people dead and no bodies recovered.

It's common for feet to be severed in a plane crash and all the feet so-far recovered were wearing sneakers - with buoyant soles so they float.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

The foot is a lie!

Um - how about going to a doctor instead of BoingBoing?

It's "Lego", damn it!

;0)

I hear it's only $15 for 'the steam off their pee'...

I've changed a few like this! I worked desktop support at a children's hospital years ago and they would go through them like that once in a while - there was a pool of about 20 of them.

It's just their fingernails and awesome speed that wears them out. I always found it really odd going into the room where their cubes were. They wear headsets and take dictation from a central digital (was analog) dictation server. All you could hear was the din of those 20 keyboards going at breakneck speed - sounded like a monsoon rainfall on a corrugated steel roof!
