Nice headline.

*golf clap*

It's the ultimate stocking stuffer!

/RIP, Mitch.

I guess they'll want to take a mile next.

Hey, they can open a Second-Foot Store.

The story is from New Zealand. Wouldn't it be Strange things are 30.48 centimeters in Christchurch?

they must not accept defeat

I don't get it?

Ugh, is it just me or was that whole article just once sentence repeated 20 times?

No vodka. It was 2-3 sentences repeated several times, sometimes with quotes.

They're dragging their feet on this. The lead investigator should get the boot.

Thank you

Wants his foot back.

I just wanted to ask if it looked like a Hobbit foot.

FTFA: "Police have been fielding several calls from the public suggesting possible owners of the severed foot found on Sumner Beach on Sunday morning"

Apparently there are several people out there who could own a random foot. I find this a bit... creepy.

Remember if a car is coming too fast for you to jump away or over or on the hood you can punch the grill and usually the driver will instantly hit the brakes without thinking about it.

getting hit by cars will cut your feet off

So far, cops don't have a leg to stand on. But they're going to put their best remaining foot forward and solve this case.

I never did watch the movie.

My right foot, or was it left.

Might develop some insight.

At least it's not at the Circle K this time.

"Pathologists have concluded that the former owner walks with a limp..."

"The pathologist is looking at it and will try to give us an idea as to how long it's been severed from the body."

It's probably been severed the entire time.

Severed foot.
Found on beach.
Shark infested waters.
You do the math.

This news story reads like a book review.

How can one article, say so little about nothing?

/subster went out on a limb here.

overlord: "The pathologist is looking at it and will try to give us an idea as to how long it's been severed from the body."

It's probably been severed the entire time.

Okay, I LOLd on that. Not totally sure why. Kudos.

anonymous: getting hit by cars will cut your feet off

This guy agrees (does not pop)

As much as it would suck to lose a limb, how bad-assed would it be to go clumping into the police station on a peg leg and claim the severed foot?

/Arr, that's mine, matey.

vodka: Ugh, is it just me or was that whole article just once sentence repeated 20 times?

It's not like they found two feet. All they can do at this point is run in circles.

As of yet, investigators don't have a leg to stand on.

Right foot, left foot, feet feet feet
how many many feet you meet.

dammit, sorry simpsonfan.

I hope the foot's decomposition won't prove to be a stumbling block.

Came heel -and- high water.

"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one foot in the sand. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "Yaarrr, matey."

Wanted for questioning.



/Maybe a little overzealous in his hunt for a toe?
//Shrugs

Another senseless Hokey-Pokey tragedy.

Is it me or is the article farked?

Alas, the story is no longer available.

PastryChef: Alas, the story is no longer available.

I suspect they lost the other foot.

Alright net types, bring this article back from the dead!!

found again:

clicky (new window)

also, in case it gets farked:

TFA:
Police are hoping to match a foot found on Christchurch's Sumner Beach yesterday to its owner from their missing person files.

Detective Sergeant Will McIvor said an off-duty policewoman walking her dog found the foot on the beach, opposite Stokes Street, at 6am.

The foot was in a sock and looked like a man's right foot, McIvor said.

"The pathologist is looking at it and will try to give us an idea as to how long it's been severed from the body.

"From there we will be able to look at missing person files and hopefully find which file to look at."

The pathologist pointed out to officers the foot could have been severed from the body for months as the sock would have given it some protection from sea life, McIvor said.

FriarReb98: Alright net types, bring this article back from the dead!!

Slightly different version; funnier headline:

Public lends hand in severed foot inquiry (pops)

"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer"-Mitch Hedberg

They had to use a toe truck to move it.

Who foots the bill for the investigation?

The investigators are on the trail...the other shoe will drop soon.

They're really in a jam on this one. Maybe it was the guy's arch enemy that was the culprit.
