Yes, it's true, Dan and I were in a museum in Wellington, New Zealand, and we came across a giant picture of (one of) the Beatles doing poi.

Paul has one in his hand too.... you can just about see it... maybe he nicked it and was about to throw it in the sea......
that's pretty cool i was expecting to see a mocked up flash animation or something when i opened this thread.... wonder if they knew why they had them though....

They must have been visiting NZ at the time as they also have tikis round their necks...

on the subject of the beatles.............to my horror in todays paper i read that an old record sleeve was to be re-released of the beatles taken way back in the 60's. great i hear you say, but the picture they where using showed 3 of the 4 with cigaretts in their hands so wise record company people being politiclly correct decide 
lets air brush out the cigaretts
well done record compny people, ringo starr looks like he's had two of his fingers amputated now
should this of been done to pander to the needs of the P.C. brigade and aren't most beatles photo's like pieces of art ??

That was the Abbey Road poster...Paul's cigarette...dunno if they actually did go through with it, but i'm sure there's a thread somewhere about it.
