Deep Thoughts from History Class

[Nick]

Today in class we were discussing overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, and that got me thinking...

1. "Where did all the animals on Hawaii come from?" and
2. "How badass were the first people to end up on the islands?"

O, and where did the Mayans go?

Its falseness is propagated by untrained tour guides

There is no large quantities of snakes that you should be afraid of. Is that better?

[Magilla]

Discovery had a show on about this a few weeks back, about all the pacific islands including Hawaii. It was aptly named "Wild Pacific".

From what I remember it was a combination of birds crapping out plant seeds, coconuts floating across the ocean, animals floating across on rafts of tangled vines and stuff that get ripped off islands during storms, and then all the plants and animals that the polynesians intentionally and unintentionally brought along when they were paddling around.

I also remember them talking about how there wasn't necessarily a lot of biodiversity on many of the islands, and how some species don't show up on certain islands because they just didn't happen to float there.

Either that, or Jesus did it.
