BC has a big shore line, and there are a lot of fishermen that work off there. And storms can get quite rough, so there are a fair amount of deaths.

Then, as they say, the body decomposes, the head/feet/hands all pop off, and currents bring them to shore.

I like how they make sure to mention that it's a left one. Redundant information anyone?

I've always heard that the BC Cannibals are so superstitious that they won't eat the left foot.

...something about a bad omen I guess. (rimshot)



..........anyway..on to more facetious things.

Two cannibals walking in the rain forest and yet the younger of the two is uninitiated into the fine art of Human Blueplate Dining.

They spot a dead missionary (what else?) in the jungle path and the older one tells the younger one that now's the time to start the family tradition.

Looking at the fairly fresh corpse, he agrees and the old man tells him to start at the feet and work his way toward the head whilst he does the opposite and they'd meet in the middle.

After about an hour, the old cannibal without looking asks: "How's it going?"

The younger one excitedly says: "This is so fantastic; I'm having a ball!"

Again, without looking up, the older one says: "Well! Slow down! You're eating too fast!"

679505 2008-06-18 10:29:00 Thebananamonkey, it's always a left foot that is why it is interesting, there are a number of theories as to why this might be so, but surely it's not chance after five such findings. zqwerty (97)
679506 2008-06-18 10:32:00 A foot that wasn't left wouldn't be there, right?
Was it toed ashore?

Ewwww-w-w-w . . . that's bad . . . even for me!

BTW: I believe that the first four were all rights . . and this is the first left .

The shoe type is interesting . I imagine it might be some sortta special track event that requires only uni-pedal participants ala John Cleese .

Now I wonder if they are male or female feet .

679508 2008-06-18 20:35:00 Probably some aliens dropping feet all over the place just to have a bit of fun. Aliens, as everybody know, have the ability to grow new feet every six months, and if you give them a scare it will fall off (just like some lizards). And then they say there are no aliens. Hmmmmpfff

If you flip a coin and it's heads five times in a row, it's chance.

Now if 100 let feet had washed ashore ....
