Severed foot regurgitated by shark

I guess if I'm going to maintain a severed feet category, I should include all such events.  This all began with a flurry of feet in running shoes washing ashore in the Pacific Northwest; that seems to have quieted down, but others occasionally pop up.  This week there is a report of a banker who caught a shark, which regurgitated a human foot and was found to have a human body in its stomach.  Warning: graphic photos.

  3. If you'd just learn to keep your feet clean, the poor shark would not have thrown up.

  4. Ironically, the fisherman to whom this foot belonged disappeared off of the beach where 'Jaws' was filmed.

  6. I don't know what it is but I absolutely hate the sight of a dead shark I think it's the way their heads move apart from their jaws. Poor thing.

  7. Unfortunately this is in dutch, so you might have missed it. A few weeks ago (sept. 11, no connection) a severed foot washed up on Terschelling, a small island along the northern coast of the Netherlands. The foot was lodged in a sneaker. Dutch police tracked down the origin of the sneaker and surprise, surprise: another foot in a similar sneaker had been found on the beach of Hull, UK, a month earlier.
    Turns out the feet belong to a Britton that has been missing since 2008...
