Perhaps. They became warlike after they got European guns That's another
subject altogether I suppose - serves me right for taking anthropology to get away from science at school!
“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found
the object of his search.
I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”

I think kinetic was joking. The Maoris were war-like the entire 400yrs they lived in aotearoa prior to arrival of the pakeha. The tribes constantly
warred, they practiced cannibalism - an aspect of which was the chief of the victorious tribe eating the penis of the chief he had just defeated - so
he can assume his manhood.
They annihilated the Moriori who lived there before their arrival.

I believe in some ancient cultures it was the defeated's brain the victor consumed.
I would have gone for the two to get the best of both worlds. . .

I was and wasn't joking. They were definitely warlike, but like many other indigenous cultures - their customs and ferocity were often exaggerated. It
made for great commerce in buying their heads ![;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
Hmm, Moriori. So many conflicting theories. Most agree that they were treated pretty brutally though ![:P](./images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Now, back to eating my failed sugar wax...

Check out this strange problem here http://forum.50webs.com/viewtopic.php?t=12100
It might have something to do with the Great Firewall of Britain.
