A Hawaii museum is getting ready to open an exhibit of artifacts from the shipwreck of a royal yacht that sank off the coast of Kauai 191 years ago.
Hawaii shipwreck chaser Richard Rogers has worked with scientists from the Smithsonian Institution to dredge up the treasures from the ship owned by King Kamehameha II, the second king of Hawaii.

The third king of Hawaii is King Barry Obama the Marxist...
Was Gilligan piloting the best.. and was there a millionaire and his wife on board?
Can you name Skipper without looking it up?
Used to be able to do so, but other than Alan Hale, nope. IIRC the Professor was named also. I prefer the "Which of the 7 Deadly Sins does Gilligan portray?" discussion.
Went and looked it up.
Jonas Grumby.
The Prof is Roy Hinkley.
Sloth?
Nope. It has been best proposed that Gilligan was in fact, Satan. He foiled all plots to leave the island and undermined every attempt to affect rescue.
Gilligan's Island 7 Deadly Sins
1. Most obvious is the Professor, who fits PRIDE to a T. Any man who can make a ham radio out of some wire and two coconuts has to be pretty cocky. His character was later revised and given a series of his own, called "MacGyver."
2. For the sin of ENVY we need look no further than Maryann, who may have worn those skimpy little tops, but could never achieve Ginger's glamour. (As an interesting and completely irrelevant side note, a nationwide survey of college students a few years ago revealed that the professor and Maryann were voted the most likely couple to have 'done it' on the island.)
3. And who could doubt for a moment that Ginger is LUST incarnate? Sure, the kids were supposed to think she was ACTING, but we all know what being deprived episode after episode was doing to her. You know and I know that glazed look wasn't boredom, my friends.
4. What kind of person takes a trunk full of money on a three-hour cruise? Mr.Howell gets my vote for GREED.
We are now left with three characters and three Deadly Sins. We have Gilligan, the Skipper and Mrs. Howell to whom we must match GLUTTONY, SLOTH and ANGER. As you can see, there is a Gilligan problem here.
5. Certainly we can further eliminate Mrs. Howell from this equation by connecting her with SLOTH. She did jack shit during her many years on the island and everybody knows it.
6,7. This leaves ANGER and GLUTTONY, either of which the Skipper had no shortage. He was, after all, a big guy with the tendency to hit Gilligan with his hat at least once an episode. After much consideration, I have decided that he can easily do double-duty, covering the two remaining Deadly Sins.
So here we have the Seven Deadly Sins trapped in an endlessly recurring Hell of hope followed by denial and despair, forced to live with each other in our TVs until the last re-run ends. And who is their captor? What keeps them trapped there? Gilligan.
Gilligan is SATAN. Think about it.
Well, after your post, I must say I can certainly see it. But, uh...well, forgive me if someone had far too much time on their hands...idle hands...just damn.
Thanks momtothree. A-ya-a-ya, a-ya-a-ya, a-ya-a-ya...
With a King James Bible and a good Hebrew/Greek lexicon handy...let’s have some fun with Superman...
Jor-El (Superman’s real father——(Hebrew) “Archer of God”. Jor-El sends his Son to earth, as the Planet Krypton (Greek) (The Secret Place: See psalm 91)is about to explode.
Kal-El (Hebrew)..”Man of God” Son of Jor-El arrives on earth and is adopted by human parents in Smallville (Can anything good come from Nazareth?...a small insignificant town.)
Upon becoming aware of his powers, Kal-El moves to Metropolis (Greek...The Great City...Jerusalem?) and becomes a reporter for a Newspaper whose LOGO(Greek...the Word) can be seen on top of the highest building.
A strange thing that Kal-El encounters is that many people in his life have the initials “El-El” (Jesus’ Last Words on the cross were “Eli, Eli, lamach sabachthenai”)
A little Latin..”Lex” means “The Law”, and Luther...well, he showed up in Christian History, preaching freedom FROM the law.
And of course, “Lois” is the feminine form of Louis, which is from Alloishus, a famous warrior saint.
I haven’t yet figured out where Jimmy Olsen fits in...maybe he’s Zacharias, the little short guy.
Kryptonite is the substance that is a fragment of Superman’s beloved home planet. It is transformed and becomes deadly, like the treasonous Judas.
Some want to build a replica for a tourist attraction.
Shiver me timbers! Thanks colorado tanker.
And now we all know that, of course, 'idle hands are Gilligan's workshop.' :-)
