Forensic experts checking foot against a national registry of missing people
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish police said they have found a human foot inside a shoe, which washed up on a beach near one of the country’s most popular tourist resorts.
Police said the discovery was made Tuesday in Tylosand near Halmstad on the southwest coast. Police spokesman Christer Harplinger said it included a shoe “containing a sock, with a foot inside it.”
Forensic experts in southern Sweden are checking the foot against a national registry of missing people.
In Canada, several running shoes containing human feet have been found on island shorelines along the Strait of Georgia. Canadian authorities say they haven’t reached any conclusions about the origin of the feet.
We’ve all been there. You’re walking along, enjoying a nice walk, when all of the sudden you’re confronted by an alcoholic bum who would like some cash. They want to make you think they will use the money for food or gas or something useful, but you know they are just going to go buy some booze.
Well, I think that this is an occasion where giving the bum some counterfeit money is ok.
Think about it. Let’s say he gets caught. Will he be any worse off? Probably not. At least he would get a place to stay for the night and possibly a meal. On the flip side - what if he can pass the phony money as real money? Well, then he’ll get some real cash, which will only hurt dumb business owners. Win, win, win.
I’m tellin you - passing fake money to bums is a GOOD idea…take it for what it’s worth.

An estimated 12 million angry honeybees threw traffic into chaos on Canada’s arterial national highway on Monday.
Known as Trans-Canada Highway, the 7,800-km highway runs from the east coast to the west coast of the country, passing through all the 10 provinces.
The incident happened near St Leonard city in the province of New Brunswick early morning when a tractor-trailer loaded with 330 crates of honey-bees overturned.
As the truck-trailer rolled over its side, many crates broke open under the impact of the crash, causing honeybees to fly out. Each crate carried four hives of honeybees.
Police, emergency crews, paramedics and agriculture experts rushed to the spot as a large number of onlookers gathered to have a look the bizarre scene on the busy national highway.
The four-lane highway was closed as seven bee experts tried to bring the honeybees back to their hives.
Police said many onlookers were stung by the agitated bees. These included a television journalist who was stung about a dozen times when she tried to catch some bee noises on her microphone.
The authorities said the disoriented and agitated bees were sprayed with mist to calm them.
The bees were being transported back to Ontario province after being used to pollinate blueberry crops (which come into blossom in June) in the province of New Brunswick that has a shortage of honey bees.
