SAY THIS THREE TIMES FAST

HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUAA

This is the name of the official state fish of Hawai'i.

Its pronounced:
HOO-moo-HOO-moo-NOO-koo-NOO-koo-AH-poo-AH-ah (meaning "triggerfish with a snout like a pig". Locally called "Pig Nosed Fish").
Genus: Rhinecanthus
Species: R. rectangulus
Binomial name: Rhinecanthus rectangulus

Thats a mouthful!

It was made the state fish in 1985 but lost the title when the "sunset" clause of the law took affect after 5 years. Now 16 years later, the state legislature is attempting to address this oversight.

BLOGSPOT STILL NOT FIXED

Still cannot add a title to my posts. This problem isn't even mentioned in the system status file. In fact the system status file has lost all reports since November 14, 2005.

Ever try to find these on your keyboard?

Here's an excellent site where you can learn about some "alt" key features or to just CC&P the symbols.

WIL"S NOTE:
OBVIOUSLY THIS HAS A PROBLEM, AT LEAST IN MY BROWSER.
I GET AN "A" WITH A ROOF OVER IT BEFORE EACH OF THE SYMBOLS. DIDN"T SHOW THAT WAY WHEN I PREVIEWED BEFORE POSTING.

hmmmm.

SPEAKING OF BROWSERS

If you haven't done so already, Download the MOZILLA FIREFOX browser when you get the chance. It is a sharp improvement over MSIE-6 and MSIE-7.

Just click the link to go to the download site. Its FREE and you'll still have your MSIE available.

MELLOW MONDAY

BLOG HOUSECLEANING

A nice quiet day off here in paradise. Every time I felt an urge to do something productive, I would just lie down until it passed. :)
==============================================
I've added the CIA World Factbook to my "RESOURCE CENTER" in the right sidebar.

I have also linked each of the flags, under the banner at the top of this blog, to the corresponding CIA World Factbook page for that country. Hope you find this interesting and/or helpful.
==============================================
Blogspot is having problems again. The TITLE section is missing when you create a post.

I'll have to edit this post and add a title when that feature reappears in the "create" function.

Wishing all of you the best week of your life to date.
