An artist manning a replica Revolutionary War submersible caused a scare
Friday after police found the strange-looking vessel foundering in a
security zone near the docked Queen Mary 2, authorities said.

The handmade wood and fiberglass vessel, at the end of a tow rope tied to an
inflatable boat, was spotted by police near the luxury ocean liner docked at
the cruise ship terminal in the Buttermilk Channel, part of New York Harbor.

"It was a strange sight," Coast Guard Petty Officer Angelia Rorison said.

Police held the artist, Philip "Duke" Riley, and two other men, both from
Rhode Island, for questioning. But there was no indication the trio meant
any harm.

Guess the Religion, Submarine Edition
By Debbie Schlussel

So, three guys walk into a makeshift submarine in the East River. . . .

Sorry, no punchline. Just a question: What is the religion of the three men
brought in for questioning over a makeshift submarine found New York's East
River, this morning?

...

Ri-i-i-i-ght. Hmmm . . . maybe the new Al-Qaeda song can be the Beatles'
"The Yellow (Makeshift) Submarine."

Thanks to reader Sharon for the tip.
