			Just picked this up at the local antique show. I've seen the Samoan Nifo Oti in wood and in metal, but I had never seen one with a repurposed Square Ruler.  The woman that I bought it from told me that she had the piece for 40 years, and had purchased it from an old man that had picked it up in the Pacific (she thought Tahiti, but didn't remember). I figured that someone out there might find it as interesting as I did.

			That is just fantastic!  As a mathematician, I find it an especially interesting find.  Thanks so much for sharing it!

			Lovely!  Anyone who thinks that repurposing is problematic should see this.  And you can certainly take the measure of any opponent with it!
