Royal Canadian Mounted police announced today that two of the five severed human feet found along the coast of British Columbia came from the same person. Who that person is or how they lost their feet is still unknown...but surely, this is a step in the right direction.

Our lovely neighbors to the north have been having a rough go at it. Locals have been discovering all kinds of unpleasant things you'd rather not find in your back-yard. First five severed feet washed ashore on area beaches, and now a new case of mad cow disease has been confirmed at a B.C. farm.

Now that a sixth foot has washed ashore in British Columbia and the mainstream media has picked up the story (because, five severed feet washing ashore—not national news; but half a dozen—now that's a headline!), the theories on the source of the severed feet are coming in.

As the news of a sixth human foot appearing in the waters around Vancouver, B.C. percolates through the Interweb, we're reminded of another troubling and--we can only hope--wholly unrelated story we caught on CBC the other night. Apparently, for the last year, athletically built young men have been mysteriously disappearing around Vancouver, B.C. While the police have yet to suggest any relationship--or even foul play--between the disappearances, family members increasing see links. They've created a Facebook page (here) amongst other efforts to promote the cause of tracking these men down. But with the constant influx of feet found in coastal waters, it was inevitable that people would start trying to link the two.

Another human foot has been found floating in British Columbia. And, unlike the four before it, this one is a left foot.

In case you missed it on Monday, British Columbia Liberals announced a $14 billion transit upgrade plan.
