World: Tonga

Who colonised Tonga? Trick question - it was never colonised, but it is part of the British Commonwealth.

Here in Euless, TX, we have three Tongan churches within a mile of each other. One is the "First Tongan United Methodist Church", another is the "Tongan First United Methodist Church".

According to the Dallas Morning News, "Euless Trinity's trademark is a massive offensive line". It is alleged (by some guy at Louise's party) that the CiCi's all-you-can-eat pizza joint on Euless Main hates it when the Tongan football players descend on the buffet.

This Australian study says that Tongans prefer large body sizes, but that this preference is changing with time. There was a weight loss program/contest in Tonga from 1995-97, with the involvement of His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV.
