In the year 2525

What is it this week with all the foot amputations? We had a kid who lost a foot playing basketball, another guy who jumped off an overpass onto a freeway with one of his feet winding up 45 miles away, and now the Episcopal Bishop of LA Has Surgery to Remove Foot because of a staph infection. And I haven't even even mentioned the lady who found a finger in her chili, or the story about the Malaysian car thieves who defeated biometric fingerprint-reading car locks by chopping off a victim's finger and using it to enter, start, and steal the car.

Remember how people used to predict that "in the future" people's extremities would fall off from disuse? Maybe it's got something to do with that. Yes, it's a sign of the last days!
