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.

Dropped by a seagull?

I love that show! The one with Della Reese and the angels - even Callisto from Xena is on it!

Oh, wait, I thought you said "Touched by an Angel." My bad.

Don't know. How about two clapping without sound?

Deckhand Finds Hand On Deck

POSTED: 11:34 am EDT June 1, 2004 UPDATED: 11:47 am EDT June 1, 2004

LAWRENCE, N.Y. -- The medical examiner's office was performing tests Tuesday on a severed human hand discovered by a deckhand aboard a yacht at a Long Island marina.

The hand was found Sunday at about 8:30 p.m., after a crew member watching TV aboard the 58-foot vessel moored at the Lawrence Village Marina heard what he first thought was a clamshell being dropped by a passing seagull.

A closer look revealed it was actually a hand.

The left hand was taken by police to the Nassau County medical examiner's office for examination. Homicide Detective Lt. Dennis Farrell said because the hand was severely decomposed, it was unlikely that fingerprints could help in identification.

He said detectives were investigating whether the hand was from a body found off nearby Atlantic Beach on May 10. That body, which had no hands or feet, has not been identified.

Farrell said one theory police have eliminated is that the hand came from an airplane on approach to nearby Kennedy Airport. In the past few years, several stowaways have fallen from the wheel compartments as airplanes approached JFK, Farrell said.

In this latest case, however, authorities found no evidence of planes flying overhead around the time the hand was discovered, he said.

He also said detectives would contact police departments in surrounding communities to determine if there are any cases of unidentified bodies with severed hands.

There is a old movie ... "The Hand" about a severed hand that goes about attacking people and exacting revenge. Probably from the 40's. And there was a follow up movie too, "The Return of the Hand". Sounds right. Now is the" Time of The Hand".
