I almost forgot to mension. I had asked Dominique what are the marks that we are seeing on the Trobriand villagers. CORRECTION: I had thought the inhabitants were using rice to be temporarily "glued" to their body, but itis actually the sepals and/or petals from flowers. According to Dominique, "in Bali they use rice and it is for sacred purposes; In the Trobriands, I think it is for looks and beauty." There you go. The story is straight.
