"...Our bad."

Just when you thought the Green Lake spike story was coming to an end, a dive crew has found 40 additional spikes at the bottom of the lake today. The discovery nearly doubles the number of spikes found, though only 15 of the spikes found today were sharpened. Somehow, that doesn't make us feel much better about the whole thing.

Two more sharpened metal spikes—buried on the bottom of Green Lake—were found by divers today. After being painfully discovered by a boater and his foot on Sunday night, police divers have located 41 more spikes buried around the lake's boating center with the sharp side pointed up.

Not satisfied to let British Columbia have all the foot-related gruesome fun, someone decided to place sharpened metal spikes at the bottom of Green Lake. More than three dozen machine-sharpened, two- to three-foot-long metal spikes were discovered Sunday night, placed on the lake bottom around the boating center. Hey, B.C. might have its severed feet, but Seattle could have impaled ones. Warning signs have been placed around the lake and the boating center notifying swimmers and boating patrons of the spikes.
