A state representative wants it to be Hawaii's official fish. The problem is most folks drawn in failure when they try to say its name. 'humuhumunukunukuapuaa' Nah! I didn't stutter. Yeah, I did practice. But if this little guy gets an official title, some will probably prefer to call the humuhumunukunukuapuaa a triggerfish.   Another animal on the move. He may have fame on his side, but Punxsutawney Phil's got nothing on old woolly here. This mechanical mammoth foretells the future of weather and he's been accurate for twelve years.

Yes, it's another grilled cheese chomping championship where the threat of thrombosis keeps health freaks behind the camera. In the end, the winner wasn't nicknamed yellow cake or cookie. It was the talented or just maybe hungry Sonya Thomas who scarfed 26 sandwiches for the win. She weighs only 99 pounds or at least she did.   But if you are not willing to eat your way to stardom, you can always leap off tall buildings on a single bound. "You have to deal with all these cameras around, and the landing gear was really tight. There are a lot of power cables around, so it was really difficult to land here." So, base jumping may seem like a worse idea than competitive eating, but when you look at this crowd of congratulaters, well, eats your heart out. A little off base in beaten the path, I'm Carl Azuz.
