Haka

This is pretty cool:


It's a haka, a Maori dance. Apparently the Blacks, the New Zealand national rugby team, does one before the start of every match.


If you're a Lord of the Rings fan/nerd/obsessive, there's another haka shown in the extra material of the third movie. I don't remember clearly, but I think a group of the Maori extras do a haka for the rest of the crew at a ceremony/party after the third movie wrapped. Also very cool and very moving.


Why hakas this morning? I dunno. Why not?
