New York police are searching for the owner of a severed human hand that dropped from the sky on to the deck of a boat.
The incident happened near the Lawrence Village Marina, on Long Island, where parties were taking place on a number of craft.
Police said the human hand mysteriously dropped out of the sky and hit the deck of one of the boats, says the New York Post.
Nassau Detective Sgt. John Azzata, said: "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.
"At this point, we don't have a clue where it came from. It's a mystery."

This sort of thing happens all the time. Nothing to see here.
Move along.

High five!
I read this story on my Palm™.
"All hands on deck...!"
Stranger still, three slips down a single glove was found on the deck of a 26-foot Sea Ray...
I know that area like the back of my hand.
Bill Clinton's hand...?
At least it wasn't a rain of frogs!
Insert french joke here _______ .
"Detectives were investigating whether it was from a handless body found off the nearby Atlantic Beach on May 10."
I just found that tidbit hysterical.
They must have been close to Fire Island....
It's reminiscent of Let Africa Sink
LOL!
The seagull who dropped the hand wasn't all that hungry....
LOL. This reminds me of the joke about the one-handed pirate. This pirate entered a bar with a hook and one eye. A sailor asked him what happened and the pirate replied: "Got my had chopped off by a saber, and lost me eye to a bird dropping". The sailor, quite puzzled, said to the pirate, "I didn't know a bird dropping could put out your eye". The pirate replied: "It can't, but it was the first day with my hook".
