Tonga's King Dies at 88
Tonga? Where that be? King of Tonga, sounds like a video game character for Final Fantasy.
Tonga's King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, a towering figure in the tiny Pacific Island nation for four decades, has died in a New Zealand hospital, ending one of the longest reigns of modern times, Tonga's government announced on Monday. He was 88.
Guy had a lot of A's in his name. So I guess they don't have any hospitals in Tonga if he died in New Zealand. My condolences to the people of Tonga, both of them.
His death came at the end of a long but unspecified illness in a hospital where the king had spent most of the past several months, and plunged the remote country into a mourning period expected to last for months.
I didn't think his death came at the beginning. Mourn for months? Man, Taufa'ahau must of been a popular king there in Tonga. I have to look at a map or something, where the hell is Tonga and why wasn't I notified of its existence? Hold on while I check this out.
Tonga's acting prime minister Viliami Tangi said on radio and television broadcasts that the king passed away shortly before midnight, New Zealand time.
There's a Prime Minister too? They got the whole government thing going on there in Tonga don't they. Well, good for them. Sorry the king died though, that stinks. Well, let's move on.
