Our Canadian overlords have mandated more news from the land of the loonie, so with that in mind, here's a good story from up north, via CNN:
A severed human foot was found washed up on an island on the western
coast of Canada this week, the fifth detached foot found in the area in
the past 11 months, according to local police and media reportsThe foot was found Monday on the shore of Westham Island south of
Vancouver, according to Constable Sharlene Brooks of the Delta Police
Department in British Columbia.The severed left foot, which was in a shoe, was taken to a coroner for DNA tests, she added.
The foot was one of five found in area recently, she said.
"Our first step is to establish identity," Brooks said. "It is a little
mysterious, but we don't know if it is linked to others."
A little mysterious?
P.S. That was a joke about the CanWest mandate, but I needed some excuse to post this.

This sounds like a bad episode of some tv police procedural...

Couldn't they just follow the footsteps in the sand?

nd: "The footprints you saw in the sand; that was me carrying in your times of trouble."

If I admit to finding nd's comment funny, does that make me an anti-semite?

icarusr- are you blaming Jesus?
Typical Iranian propaganda...

ratner- in the eyes of some here, yes.
In my eyes, though, it is your giant Ed Norton-style swastika tattoo that makes you an anti-Semite, and your travelling "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" puppet-show.

Also I shaved my pubic hair into the shape of a Hitler mustache.
Too much?

Shaved it? Right.
Like it didn't grow in naturally that way.

Shaving your pubic hair is one thing, but naming your testicles Goebbels and Himmler is just classless.

Not at all, adaglas. Now I can approach women and say "Do you ever regret not being part of the greatest generation and having a chance to really lick the Nazis?" Works every time.
