overall a wierd story, but I'm wondering what this guy is smoking...
Ebbesmeyer said it may not be a coincidence they were found in the same area. He said left shoes and right shoes often tend to wash up at different times at different places because they float differently.

He added that there are beaches that collect mostly rights and others that collect mostly lefts because the winds or currents sort out left and right foot wear.

I bet there is a special beach for those people's feet.

If I were the RCMP's, I'd be looking at if any of these feet could be identified and connected to the Vancouver, B.C. pig farmer a few years ago who ground up several hundred prostitutes/people in his sausage processor and allegedly sold his victims to local grocery stores as pork and/or beef sausage.

My bet is on improperly disposed of medical waste.

I'll put up a six pack. Any takers?

It's such a waste. :lol:
I saw a soap dodger on San Francisco a couple months ago that could have used some shoes.

Some how the democrats will spin this and say that the economy is so bad that people are cutting off their feet to save money on shoes.

They do if it was a black market medical procedure.
