Then, when they tore 'em all out, one ended up in Sunset Park. Are you sure about that? The Tropicana moais looked pretty different in the photos I've seen. There are some other accounts of the relationship (or lack of it), as well as a picture, on this old thread. I always thought there was only one Aku Aku moai, but both Ben and bigbro say "moais" in that other thread. Were there more than one of the featherstone Aku Aku moais? And BTW, what's the plural of "moai"? How about "moaice", or "mo' ice" if you're from Hawaii. -Randy
