    Apparently knowledge of anatomy was not a part of Polynesian mythology. Even without the teeth, what way out exactly did he plan to take?

      Outside my window is a mountain. Everyone knows it as Koko Crater. But it’s actual name is Kohelepelepe which is the Hawaiian name for the labia minor. The story is that a goddess, attempting to rescue another goddess named Pele, throws her vagina all the way from Hawai’i island to O’ahu and it lands in this spot.

      I think about this nearly every day (because of the mountain outside my window).

      Here’s two links related to the story: Wikipedia and a more local essay.

        That’s awesome and wild.

        Also, are you native Hawaiian? Else how is living on Oahu? We have dreamed of it in the past, sounds delightful in many ways!

      You enter into mortality by exiting the vagina at the moment of your birth. Be entering it you return to the immortal realm from which all live emerges, by NOT exiting through it, you retain that immortal status.

      Sorry, I thought this was obvious. We really need to teach people where babies come from.

        absolutely none of that is obvious. It’s magic mumbojumbo… and magic is not obvious. It is, by nature, mysterious…

        The only thing that’s obvious is that you’re a patronizing dick. So, thanks for answering, I guess, but you’re kind of an asshole. Maybe if you fly up your own asshole, you’ll get the magic of not being one… it’s so obvious.
