In this undated photo provided by the Waikiki Aquarium, a humuhumunukunukuapuaa, also called a triggerfish, is shown. Rep. Blake Oshiro had long lived under the delusion that many Hawaii residents share: that the sprightly colored fish with the excessively long name is Hawaii's state fish. Oshiro found out in a conversation with the 4-year-old son of a friend and constituent that the state fish designation isn't official. (AP Photo/Waikiki Aquarium)

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa Dethroned

Curiously, "Humuhumunukunukuapuaa" is the exact thing I said when I was deflowered.

This is so wrong!

The humuhumunukukuapua'a can't be dethroned! Seriously, this is going to REALLY bug lots of people, silly as that sounds.

Damn, there's even a cute song where part of it goes"...and the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimmin' on by!" :(

Ah, Hawaii! Anyplace that has words with more than 20 letters is my kind of place. Time has little meaning there. Very relaxing!
