SEATTLE - Nearly 50 metal spikes were mysteriously planted in the shallows of an urban lake popular with swimmers, alarming Seattle residents and leading to a police investigation.

"We're horrified, because we can't think of any reason anyone would have placed these except to hurt people," said Dewey Potter, a spokeswoman for the city's Parks Department. "We've never encountered anything like this. It's very bizarre."

Patrick Boltz was wading in Green Lake on Sunday with his wife and 18-month daughter when something cut his foot. He discovered a spike and yanked out 10 spikes in a matter of minutes. He then alerted the parks department.

This seems like the kind of thing PETA or ELF or one of the other eco-whacko groups would pull, especially given the area.

We had a string of incidents where razor blades were buried in the sand boxes of local parks. They finally caught the person doing it, and it was a homely, overweight, middle-age woman who had no friends or social life, and had lived with her parents her entire life. There are lots of sick people out there.

I would picture PETA people swimming in lakes- not putting spikes in them.

Ever smell one? I don't think they go near water much.
