June 1, 2004 -- 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.
The bizarre incident occurred in the water just off the Lawrence Village Marina, where a group of boats had gathered to have a party.
One owner was in the cabin when "he heard a noise, goes out to check and finds the hand on the rear deck of the boat," said Nassau Detective Sgt. John Azzata. "At this point, we don't have a clue where it came from. It's a mystery."

Dropped by a seagull?
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.
Not to worry -- the consigliore just didn't stuff all the parts in the bag on the way out to sea to dump "the garbage."

Close. It flew out of Ted Kennedy's blowhole and landed on the boat. It all began as Ted and Bawny Fwank were getting drunk on the beach. The slurred conversation turned to the subject of gay marriage. Ted asked for Bawny's hand and, Bawny gave it, not realizing that Ted was simply hungry and attracted by the smell of lilac scented hand cream. Ted mistook the scent with grapes in his stupor and decided to have a mouthful. Later he took a swim with the rest of the pod...Micheal Moore, Helen Thomas and other whales, when he felt a sneeze coming on, and the rest is history.
