Title: Canadian foot mystery solved?

A Mortuary worker could be behind the discovery of five separate feet on Canadian beaches in recent months.

Five human feet — all detached at the ankle and wearing trainers — have come ashore along a 60-mile stretch of the Georgia Strait, a long gulf between the mainland and the eastern side of Vancouver Island. A sixth foot washed ashore last week has now turned out to be a hoax — a decomposed animal paw placed in a trainer.

Police initially suspected the feet — four of which were all right feet — came from plane crash victims but that has now been discounted. An emerging theory is that they were thrown into the water by a mischievous mortuary worker who would have access to corpses.

Detectives have also been investigating whether a serial killer could be to blame but as yet no DNA matches have been found with missing persons.

The hoax foot has done little to dampen speculation about the source of the previous five severed feet. The string of discoveries began in August, when two size 12 right feet were discovered within a week on the shoreline of the Jedediah and Gabriola islands.

Three more finds came at roughly monthly intervals.

I came back to see what you loafers have achieved.

I'd say y'all have just about sized it up.  A couple of you need a good swift boot.
