The following is from the Associated Press: The humuhumunukunukuapua'a officially lost its title as the state fish more than a decade ago but is set to reclaim the honor. A bill reinstating the critter -- known as humuhumu for short -- passed the Legislature on Monday and heads next to the office of Gov. Linda Lingle for a signature. The little fish with the long name was deposed in 1990 by a clause in the law that gave it its crown, which made the measure expire after five years.
