When I was on Easter Island, I was drawn to a chubby little carving of a dude with a bald head and a "third leg." I just assumed it was a male figure, but when I asked the carver about it, he said it was the (only?) female carving on the island - the "third leg" was not a phallus as I assumed but a loose representation of giving birth. it did not appear to be pregnant, but had a round-ish buddha belly.

Now, I really want one.

In an unrelated note (?) when I was at the Voodoo donuts in POrtland this weekend, there was an Easter Island carving of the kava kava hanging from the wall, a really nice (expensive!) one. I inquired and was told one of the owners just returned from easter island and brought it back (thus making the connection between Tiki Central and Voodoo Donuts even stronger!)
