The Haast eagle apparently ate moa.
Moa died, couldn't catch anything else big enough, so eagle died.

743796 2009-02-01 22:46:00 Never thought of that. I suppose they didn't adapt to getting wekas and pukes and died out. prefect (6291)
743797 2009-02-01 23:29:00 Seems like we already given them over half of the country's value. About time they got over themselves and stopped all the protesting and "grieving". Maori day is no celebration day here. wotz (335)
743798 2009-02-02 00:28:00 Just might take the grandaughter fishing off the wharf at Napier's inner harbour.

So many years since I did that with her dad!!!!!

She might be able to show me a trick or two. :thumbs:

Only half? I was certain that it was more than that!

Maori day is no celebration here, either.

It's interesting though, that the only people who seem to be able to make derogatory remarks or jokes about the maoris are the maoris themselves (for example, Howard Morrison or Bill T James.) That also seems to be the case for most minority cultures in our country.

Why is it then that anyone is able to cast as many aspersions as they like against the Irish? Not that the Irish worry, become upset, offended or complain, but it does seem curious that nobody goes screaming to the authorities over people cracking Irish jokes.

Double standards, not only for the majority but for maoris as well. PC gone mad.:illogical

743803 2009-02-02 03:15:00 This is the one I use - I find it pretty accurate, and a great way to scroll through subsequent days' forecasts. You can certainly get a good feel for a trend and see the weather coming...
