What's a Kiwi (besides a fruit)? What's Waitangi Day?

[Tattoo Bradley]

"Kiwi" is someone from Australia... er... or is it New Zealand? Or both?

[BEEDEE]

Dirka Skene - Kiwi is a flightless bird from New Zealand and is the nickname for New Zealanders. Waitangi Day is roughly equivalent to Independance Day (July 4)

Thanks for sorting me out Beedee. I thought so, but then got a bit mixed up. Oh, and I was aware of the bird, just had my geography a bit mixed.

This sparked interest as to why I had shoe polish that said Kiwi on it. This is what I found out. http://www.wackyuses.com/wf_kiwi.html If you NZrs got the day off congratulations. O'Neille

I was very romantic with a Kiwi once. A woman New Zealander not the flightless bird, ya knuckleheads.
