The Creation of the Hawaiian Islands
I have two theories:

1) God formed them because he was really pissed off at fish that week.

2) Prehistoric aquamen detonated a nuclear warhead deep inside an undersea volcano.

5. I knew that
It is a prevalent myth for many of the islands in Polynesia. Also, Maui used a rope woven from the pubic hair of his sister to latch on to the sun so that he could pull it closer to the Earth and dry the tapa cloth.
