These handcuffs are high tinsel steel, take you at least 10 minutes to cut through with a hacksaw. If your quick you can make it through your ankle in 5.

Error in TFA:

The process is not adipocere. The process is saponification. Adipocere is the product.

I have worked with Gail Anderson as a diver during experiments with pig carcasses - the pigs simulate the decomposition of human tissues. We placed pigs at various depths in various water conditions to simulate human decomposition and study the organisms that flourished - this data can be used to establish timelines in cases of water related deaths.

A RAF pilot was severely wounded when he crash landed in Nazi Germany and he went to the military hospital. The docs saved his life by amputating his leg. He asked that his leg be flown to England and dropped by parachute. The next week, complications set in and he lost the other leg and asked that the other leg be dropped over London as well. The following week he wasn't better and had to have his arm amputated and he repeated his request. "Nein, Herr Pilot" he was told. When he asked why not, he was told: "Ve think du are tryink to escape!"

\got nothing

Since the feet smelled, they're looking for a suspect whose nose runs.

Their investigation is on its last leg.

They believe the feet are from Taiwan, because they tested the blood in the feet and it was Taipei.

I shouldn't make foot jokes. A foot with no leg isn't humerus.

To be fair, there are any number of explanations besides foul play. Missing fisherman, a hiker lost in the mountains whose body part(s) came downstream, suicide, etc. But three in a year does seem odd, yes.

This reminds me of a cartoon: Man trying to get to sleep. His upstairs neighbour drops his big clod-hopping work boot as is his wont. Then he drops the second work boot. The insomniac relaxes to go to sleep as is his wont...then the third work boot drops...he starts awake instantly. It's going to be a tough night. I believe it's in a collection of PRIVATE EYE cartoons I read about once a year. Some of the best cartoons ever--especially now PUNCH is gone.

2008-02-16 08:45:36 PM
Dolen's comments also included something along the lines of "we have no reason to believe the 3 right feet are in any way linked".

Yeah when I saw the news clip I turned to the GF and said "Dexter."

This is my suspect. The killer whales adopt new prey species as they become available and there was a sharp decline in the number of sea otters in the 90s for unknown reasons until they figured out that killer whales had added them to their menus. Killer whales only eat the the tongue and lower jaw of juvenile gray whales they kill on the Pacific coast and they can squeeze penguins so they eat the bodies and spit out the skin with all the feathers still attached so spitting out feet and tennis shoes shouldn't be too difficult. Look for empty kayaks and missing kayakers.
