"...Our bad."
Yes folks, the great Green Lake spike saga has been solved and it is all the Parks Department's fault. Police have closed the case into a possible local foot hater, after the Parks Department realized that they had placed the spikes in the lake--more than 20 years ago.
The originally curved metal stakes were used to hold down plastic sheeting on the bottom of the lake. Over the last two decades, some of the curved tops rusted off, leaving the possible tetanus-inducing impalers.

Does anyone else find it odd that it took so long for the Parks Department to claim responsibility?
Yes. Hell, that information was posted here and we thought "No way would they forget that..."
Whoops!
Everything the government touches turns to shit.
so now that divers went down and collected hundreds of these spikes, is the plastic sheet (greenlake wets the bed! greenlake wets the bed!....) no longer being held down, or has stuff grown over it?
Hanlon's Razor strikes again. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
