Next time be more careful or you might have the death of a virgin on your hands when one of us hurls her into a volcano trying vainly to appease the Tiki gods and avoid another landmark from closing. Nonetheless, thanks for the great photos from this primo collection. I remember visiting a museum in Hawaii where a sword hung that allegedly was used to kill Cap'n Cook himself when the natives realized he was not a god. The sword was made of, what else, a swordfish! Take that white devil! [ Edited by: SuperEight 2008-07-12 00:09 ]
