Strange Tides are Washing Up Feet

Something in the Strait of Georgia is producing severed human feet at alarming intervals.

In the past six months, three different human feet have washed ashore right in the backyard of our beloved San Juans. All right feet, all wearing tennis shoes, and all springing forth from the frigid currents of the Strait of Georgia which separates Bellingham from the unrivaled scenery of the island chains.

The sequence of discoveries and geographical proximity of each find has Royal Canadian Mounted Police furiously seeking answers in the tide pools of the Gulf Islands.

Who's losing their right foot? How come left feet aren’t washing up? Is this straight out of a Coen Brothers' film or is it just us? Either way, Seattlest advises all readers to aggressively scrutinize any person lacking said foot.

well didn't the charts say something about tides being 3 feet above normal this week?

The Georgia Straight is a weekly newspaper, so maybe these feet are some sort of bizarre press release.

I would be less surprised if they were showing up along the Georgia Strait. Then it would probably be a drug-related organized crime problem or something.

(Sorry, it's Grammar Day after all and I couldn't resist.)

"Whose losing their right foot?"

What Katelyn said about grammar day...

National Grammar day is such a slap in the face.

Looks like Dexter didn't cover his tracks this time.
