Handwriting on the Wall

Today I saw the handwriting on the wall. I will let all of you draw your own conclutions.

Hawaii Signs of Doom

Here are a few more warning signs from Hawaii. The little sign guys get into a lot of tough situations here. Apparently, Hawaii is simply one gigantic death trap that just happens to have people on it.

Did you notice where they didn't put up warning signs? That's right, at the active volcano. Wouldn't want to worry anyone about something crazy like that.

Sign Dedication

This picture is dedicated to Jordan, who will no doubt find a warning sign with a picture of a guy falling on his head to be extremely hilarious.

Watermelon by the Pound

Like watermelon but don't want to buy the whole melon? Safeway Hawaii's got you covered.

I ended up naming the watermelon Antonio, because for some reason I kept thinking of Merchant of Venice.

I can't make those characters on my keyboard.

Today we wandered into the little known Ethiopian district of Hawaii. Besides the coca cola products shown to the right, they also claim to have built an exact replica of the ark of the covenant out of sand, although scolars are divided on wether the sand ark is in the Hawaiian-Ethiopians' or Scotish-Hawaiians' posession, or if it's in fact still buried somewhere along the beach. Then there are the skeptics who claim the whole story was made up by some random blogger in 2008, but they ignore the massive amount of photographic evidence of coke cans.

Hopefully Shia LeBeouf can pick up where one his fathers left off (Indiana Jones, Steve Stevens, Ron Witwicky, it doesn't matter which, they all wanted Shia to do something with his life) and solve this mystery once and for all.

Space Mana

For years scientists have suspected that God kept a reserve supply of mana in the depths of space. Now one Hawaiian claims to have enough pictures to open their own gallery of the elusive space mana (Hebrew: החלל החיצון מָ‏ן). Hopefully "soon" is before the end of next week, so we can all experience space mana ourselves, at least in gallery form.


Fun Facts:
1. Since Hebrew is written right to left, when you copy and paste it, the blinking cursor (no, not you, Hazama) stays to the left until you type something western, like sarsaparilla or boy-howdy!
2. Whlie manna itself is now spelled with two "n"s, "space mana" retains the antiquated one "n" spelling because Hawaiians enjoy spelling it that way. And since they are always puting extra apostrophes into words (e.g. Hawai'i, O'Brien, it's) scholars figured why not let them take something out of a word for a change?
3. The Battle of Hastings was in 1066. Also in 1066, Sima Guang wrote a detailed 8-volume Tongzhi (通志; "Comprehensive Records"), which chronicled Chinese history from 403 BCE to 207 BCE (the end of the Qin Dynasty).
4. Later in life, Sima was reported to have said he was "glad he sold off his time-share in Hastings in 1065."

Volcano

No epic stories this time, just a cool shot of lava spitting out of the earth. About two minutes after this it started downporing! We had to hike back a ways completely soaked at night. My shirt is still wet, but I had some shorts to change into.


By the way, this is that spot that used to be a neighborhood in the 1980s. There are still about 5 houses down the road, and lots (no pun intended) of land for sale.
