subby, are you reading the same article that you submitted? All it says is that they've ruled out foul-play and they're trying to link them to 4 people that died in a plane crashiathink you're reaching for a funny headline...
 
2008-06-18 4:38:26 PM  
While that headline made me laugh pretty hard, it's completely NOT what the article said.

C'mon submitter, put your best foot forward.

I wonder if the feet were dumped out there by this chick:

I have four left feet, so I'm getting a big kick out of these - oh, forget it.

The Netherlands has got shoes, British Columbia's got feet.

Focus people, focus ....

OK! One more time from the top!

Maybe it's time for Drew to publish a book (a pamphlet, natch) about the sensationalistic headlines on Fark that have less to do with reality and more about scoring points with moderators and readers.

Which is too bad in this case, because the article is full of win. Specifically:

"There is no other process on going other than disarticulation of the feet," he said.

Sir, my hat's off to you. You win the prize for most thorough reduction of bizarre sensational mystery to... well... disarticulation of the feet.

So they're up to a meter then?

Plane crashes with 4 on board.
6 Feet wash up (5 Right, 1 Left)
Sounds Plausible...
Obviously not foul play.

It's a bit suspicious that only feet are washing up though, if it was just a plane/boat crash.

Fishies ate the rest, which was nude (head, arms or at least hands) or wearing loose-fitting clothing made of natural, quick-rotting fibres. The feet, on the other hand, are tightly enveloped in leather and glue.

I had another theory, but underwater, nobody can smell your feet.

Have they thought of searching for the people who had died in many accidents on the water and in the air.

Here's a thought. With the story on "Young Men Missing" that aired recently. What if those are their feet?

Could we have a serial murder out there?

When it was just 3 feet, i thought scotchland YARD could solve it but 5 is beyond them

Apparently, when a plane hits the water with great force, most of the passengers feet are severed due to the impact.

"Disarticulation" would be worth a hell of a lot of points... although I don't see how one would play it without having at least one of the triple-world squares already covered. Max might be if 'art', 'la' and 'ion' are already on the board.

I loooooove this story. The cops crack me up. They announced on the news this morning that the severing didn't appear to be unnatural. Oh god I love that. So funny.

I recently heard a much more reasonable explanation, than "People's feet are popping off."

According to a journalist buddy of mine, these are the feet of people who failed to pay loan sharks who operate out of the nearby River Rock Casino. If you don't pay they won't kill you. Dead men can't pay debts. But amputees can!

The airplane theory seems pretty ridiculous to me. Are we to believe that people died, their feet were gnawed off by fish and no other portions of their bodies were found? If that were the case then why don't all nautical disasters result in nothing but feet being found.

Either cops think we are retarded or they actually are.

How the hell does, "well a plane crashed hereabouts three years ago, so... you know," rule out foul play?
 
2008-06-18 7:06:47 PM  
Unless things have changed, I beleive the point of the Fark headline was to be somthing funny...hence the reason the submitter makes it up rather than pasting the actual headline.

I laughed, headline meets specs.

No Chinese Triad gang activity has ever been reported in British Columbia..

Fark headlines are funny, because the good ones actually relate to the story in some way. If you want Fark to degrade to random jokes posted on unrelated stories, you can go sit on a leprous dick.

I was going to say that it sounded like something strange was afoot in Canada, but someone probably beat me to it.
 
2008-06-18 7:47:40 PM  
Aside from the obnoxious pop ups, the linked video seems to indicate that the 'no foul play' angle is related to YESTERDAYS story of FIVE missing feet.

This one appears to have gone at least a foot over subbys head.

No, we can totally rule out foul play. No chance of that. Remember, this is Canada we're talking about here, where everyone is too polite to actually murder anyone. Hurt their feelings, maybe, but rude is about as bad as it gets.
 
2008-06-18 8:00:38 PM

errrr... you both fail miserably... Well, hypnotoad is close... 6ft being 2 meters is accurate for "Fudging" in unimportant measurements but for all accuracy: 1 meter = 3.3 feet

dont argue, i'm a construction engineer and i have to do this kind of conversion on a daily basis because some morons still cant get into the 21st century and STILL have plans in feet, and tenths of a foot, rather than meters... Where am I the US?

Unlikely as it may, I hope they're just the result of some unpleasant accident, and not foul play.
 
2008-06-18 8:12:30 PM  
Eventually these will be traced to the 1946 sinking of the yacht The Game's Afoot, belonging to the obscure but wealthy research podiatrist Dr. Otto Ventral.
