Jude 2

he looks like that radio guy in the movie The fifth element, when he had one of his weird hair-do's. or so I am told.

Gives me good reason to eat King's Hawaiian rolls with supper.

Ditto....I guess

His statue is at the Capitol right?

His statue is ACTUALLY across the street ("King Street"} from the Iolani Palace, the only Royal Palace on U.S. soil. There are two statues at the state capitol...


in front is Father Damien, the Catholic Priest who devoted his life to ministering to lepers on Molokai and died of leprosy among them.

The other is Queen Liliuokalani, the beloved queen who was a devout believer and organist at the Kawaiahao Congregational Church. She wrote many songs, including the classic "Aloha O‘e"

Sorry, Gary. I meant the US Capitol.

Wait.

Is this the guy who sacrificed his opponents to war gods and is thought to have become a god himself?


I think I'll stick to Jeff Davis Day.

Sorry, I misunderstood.


There are THREE of those statues -- the famous one in Honolulu, a second one on the Big Island, and a third in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol.

Nobody here that I have ever heard of has ever referred to King Kamehameha as a god. Was that from Wikipedia?? He was a pretty fierce warrior, and his troops killed a lot of opponents to unite the island chain under one ruler -- him.

Nope.
I looked up some Oceana History and found "HAWAII: THE STORY OF KAMEHAMEHA"

He (the king) didn't mean anything by it, though, Gerald. All in a day's work, y'know.

Just kidding, PG.

Idolitry I tell you ................how can you celebrate this and not celebrate Holoween!!!!

My God where have all the Christians gone......

KIDDING!!!!!!!! He was a fierce warrior.........dear lord .....look how big he was.......and all those flowers....?????):):):)

Is that statue on Waikiki beach? I think I saw it when I was there 3 years ago. I know I saw the museum when I was there.

You're confusing King Kamehameha with the king of surfers, Duke Kahanamoku.
