Well, maybe. Somebody asked me privately:
> Rob, what's going on with the bits of people washing up in B.C? http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/314848091/6th-severed-foot- fou.html There's been lots of speculation, but the real story is probably much simpler. As the linked National Post story <http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=597081> says, "[b]ecause the detached feet are encased in synthetic footwear, they can float in water and can remain more or less intact; other human remains have less chance of being washed ashore, although forensic experts say that is not uncommon." Later the article mentions a plane crash: it's more than possible that the feet come from unrelated boating accidents. The fact that the latest foot appears to have been sawn off does make a difference. Because of the media attention to this case it may very well be a copycat situation.
