bluegargantuaHey,
So here's a link to a Smithsonian article about one of the last remaining Cargo Cults in the world. In brief, these guys were totally dumbfounded at the material majesty of WWII military forces who set up bases in the Pacific and so they formed cults to try and bring back the planes with their boxes of coca-cola and chocolate and shiny distractions.
I want to be a complete bastard. I want to load up a DC3 with stuff and just fly in during one of their ceremonies. It's completely unethical and I'd likely be denounced as a fraud by the threatened priesthood, but how often do you get to be a god?
"Please, a strong bowl or three of kava is all I ask in sacrifice...oh and maybe those two unmarried hotties over there...actually, no, just the kava, thanks."
