[E equals MC2]

Negative. You don't have any muscles in your hands, just tendons that are manipulated by the muscles in your forearms. If the tendons are cut, you have no grip.

That sounds like something Dwight from The Office would say.

You might be thinking about rigor mortis (wiki ), in which case I think it would depend on where (how high up) the arm was cut off.
