TriviaHawaii

Aside from posing as a Nigerian prince, I tend to enjoy spam with eggs and rice. It's sometimes considered a generic Hawaiian breakfast, but simple is occasionally best.

I haven't read the actual law for it, myself, but supposedly it's illegal in Hawaii to put a coin in your ear. According to the Internet, doing so suggested that you're a drug dealer.

As for my most interesting fact? Well, we get false ballistic missile alerts on occasion. That's something.

We have the highest life expectancy in the U.S., though given my eating habits that may change.

Oahu (the "main" island, where I live) has an amazing public transportation system. Coupled with a recent bikeshare installation in Honolulu, getting to/from work is stress-free. For me, at least.

The least favorite thing? Everything is expensive, often times prohibitively so.

In my 5+ years of hosting, I've only seen or suspected maybe three or four instances of cheating. We're lucky to have a community of genuinely talented teams. That, or I'm far too trusting. :)

"Balsamic Missile Warning" is a recent favorite.

I was idly Internet-ing at home when it happened. In chronological order: I accepted death, I texted my girlfriend, answered a call from my mother, put on clothes (nudists aside, who wants to be naked when the bomb hits?), then refreshed our local news sites until Twitter (of all things) gave the false alarm announcements.
