A boat party in an exclusive area of Long Island Sunday night was interrupted - when a severed human hand mysteriously dropped out of the sky onto the deck of a boat, police said yesterday.

Let's hope the the person that was formerly intimately associated with this hand had fingerprints on file somewhere.

Well, at least they can take fingerprints. . . .

Whaddya think of the theory that it was dropped by the remnants of those killer tornados in the midwest? Is anybody missing? Surprisingly large things dragged into the upper atmosphere by a tornado can ride for days . . . of course, it's usually insulation and plywood and stuff like that, don't know about the aerodynamic characteristics of a severed hand . . . ick.

So how do you know it's the best show?

I am the all-seeing and all-knowing TS...;-)

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, great minds travel the same channels, I guess . . . :-D

Tony Soprano practicing.... "Touch and Go?"

When they finally get a grip on this situation, I am sure the Grand Jury will hand down an indictment.

But first, they have to wrestle with the issues...

Hmmmmm Speak to the hand!!!!!!

[pepsionice]

Someone onboard...connected to a morgue...put the hand there. It DID NOT drop out of the sky. Oh please, be real. This was a joke from a morque junkie.

[Jonah Hex]

I have to admit, I always had a Thing for Morticia...

[rabidralph]

where's that menemenetekel...guy when you need him. I'm sure he could tell us what this means.

[Jonah Hex]

Gee, somehow I thought you would say MST3K was the best show ever.

[Diddle E. Squat]

And now for something completely different

[Young Werther]

Nobody'll read this post since it's sooo late but here goes....

A Soprano Hand-me-down!

[Mo1]

... Nope .. Wasn't mine

[1rudeboy]

Hands on deck!

[weegee]

Speaking of identification, did they ever confirm if the bound hands found on a roof belonged to one of the stewardesses on one of the 9-11 hijacked planes?

I know that I saw an article confirming a bound set of hands was found but never saw a follow-up.

[mrobison]

I hate it when that happens!

[MeekOneGOP]

All Hands On Deck!

ROFL !!!

[weegee]

It just may be...

An Interview With Mike Nelson 2 (Mystery Science Theater 3000 host votes Republican)

Q33 (Forrest): Have you seen The Passion of the Christ? If so, what did you think?

A33: I have seen it. I have mixed feelings about movie depictions of the central event in the Christian faith. For myself, I have the Bible and that works well for me. Also, I’m a Protestant, and we tend to be more Easter focused, while traditionally, Catholics have been a little more Passion focused. So it did me good to spend a little time there.

All that being said, I think it was a pretty fine movie, and darned if it didn’t get people talking about religion again, a subject that some are trying to close off from the public square, a pet peeve of mine. Though the Judeo-Christian worldview has served us well for more than two hundred years and underpins the finest society in the history of the world, there are those fighting hard to throw it all on the scrap heap and replace it with radical secularism, a worldview that has brought us Nazism, Communism and some of the greatest horrors of all time.

Q54 (Forrest): Believe it or not, there have actually been discussions on our discussion board about whether or not you are independent, republican or democrat. Paul Chaplin and Kevin Murphy have often shared their political views with the world. So what are yours? Are you an elephant, a donkey, or neither?

A54: Well, let me say this, I read the National Review cover to cover. Check in at Townhall.com every day. Check the Washington Times daily. Listen to Dennis Prager and Michael Medved on a regular basis. Read Mark Steyn with regularity. Read the Weekly Standard. So, yes, I do vote Republican. As the pundit Hugh Hewitt has observed, there are indeed two Americas: Serious America and Silly America. The Democrats seem bent on turning this into Silly America, so I stick with those who wish this to remain Serious America.

Of course, in addition, as angry as it makes me, I check in with the monolithic press: the NY Times, the L.A. Times, the Boston Globe. One thing I can’t do, that makes me just insanely angry, is read my local paper, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, known to many as the Star and Sickle, or the Red Star Tribune.
