When I was explaining the annual Bird Man festival of Easter Island to a friend, in which a bunch of guys would jump off the cliff and swim to a nearby island, and whoever brought back the first egg of spring (uncrushed) was the winner, she asked "Is that where Easter Eggs come from?"

It kind of made sense, but then again, not really.

To the contrary, after the Moais stopped walking and fell down, it only seems appropriate for the Rapa Nui themselves to have taken up the civic Easter Egg hunt.
