lol, you'd also think an orthopedic surgeon could identify a human foot.

I loved the headline subby but on a serious note:

A bear paw looks very similar to a human foot, more so if it's decayed or simply skeletal matter. Many forensic courses, especially in areas where there are bears and large expanses of nature always drill this into students since what may be human remains found in the hills or the woods are in reality nothing more than the paw of a bear or other wild animal and vice versa. I've gotten to play with both human skeletal remains and those of a bear and let me tell you that either one can pass for the other especially to the untrained eye or barring further scrutiny.

Nice, subby.

Great police work there, Lou

ahah good one, subby +1

Nice. I +1'd.

Bear trifecta in play.

/cue the Bear Cavalry.

It took me a second to get that the headline was a donut joke. Whatever bearclaws are, we must call them something else around here.

But was it a Nazi bear?

thanks there mr. no sense of humor.

It could've been part of a frozen little bigfoot?

Nice subby.

I used to live in Alabama. The cops in my hometown could not only identify a bearclaw when they saw one, they could probably tell you what store it came from while wearing a blindfold.

Are they sue it was the bears Paw? It could 'ave been his Maw.....

I'll stick to playing with cars and acting my shoe size.

I ran across a nice little .pdf about it for those who may be curious, with pictures and x-ray. I gotta' admit, I likely wouldn't be able to tell them apart either.

Years ago at a butchershop I work at, I looked in a scrap barrel and saw little skun out childrens hands. of course I freaked out and called in my boss. He took a look and then told me that his taxidermist friend needed to get rid of some scraps that he had forgotten to get rid of at his house. They of course were bear paws.

a skun out bear hanging in a cooler looks incredibly like a human hanging there.

Subby rocks.

Love the headline, Subby.

/Went to college in AL.

SilentStrider: Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw we're all outta bear claws!



/not obscure

Got any apple fritters?

/rock on

How many times is this going to the front page?

It's a conspiracy!

Was it a boy-foot bear with teaks of Chan?

Wow, that is pretty similar.

So was it just a cub paw for it to be mistaken for a child's foot? It'd have to be a small paw, right?

Well played.

So wait, was there ever a missing kid at all? Or did they find the foot, mistake it for a human foot, and then decide there must be a missing kid? I are so confuzzled.

Very good head Subby

I think it was the latter more so than the former.

oh my god this headline is so funny.

So we know the child is bear foot....

Are they sure it wasn't just one of these? There might still be dead baby parts out there.

But even if it is decayed to just bones, when was the last time you saw a human foot with Claws?

claws like nails usually fall off with decomposition, especially if they were found out in the woods where critters chew, play or mess with them.

I used to get bear claws lodged right here!!
