Morning Mugshots

Lance Curran has a large collection of mugs decorated with faces of superheroes, villains, and cartoon characters. In the morning, when he gives his kids breakfast, he likes to photograph his coffee mug in front of his kids' faces and upload the photos onto Instagram. The results are super cute!

(Curran has a notably well-decorated home. In the background of the top photo is Matthew Skiff's print of He-Man, Orko, and Skeletor sharing a pizza.)

Surprised it didn't make any mention of how the women tried to stop men from being aggressors in one of the visits by T. N. Pandit's group:

"Quite a few discarded their weapons and gestured to us to throw the fish. The women came out of the shade to watch our antics... A few men came and picked up the fish. They appeared to be gratified, but there did not seem to be much softening to their hostile attitude... They all began shouting some incomprehensible words. We shouted back and gestured to indicate that we wanted to be friends. The tension did not ease. At this moment, a strange thing happened — a woman paired off with a warrior and sat on the sand in a passionate embrace. This act was being repeated by other women, each claiming a warrior for herself, a sort of community mating, as it were. Thus did the militant group diminish. This continued for quite some time and when the tempo of this frenzied dance of desire abated, the couples retired into the shade of the jungle. However, some warriors were still on guard. We got close to the shore and threw some more fish which were immediately retrieved by a few youngsters. It was well past noon and we headed back to the ship..."

There is a lot to be said about some of the other tribes on near by islands that are colonized. They have a mix of isolationism, but want their kids to use hospitals and schools on the island. And the government has been cracking down on "human safaris" by tourist groups at near by resorts.

this is really interesting. Something else interesting, that area around the grounded ship in that photo is now all above sea level, the entire island rose by 1 to 2 meters after the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake

Yeah, that ship at 11.593481,92.212338 really breaks the Prime Directive.
With it now accessible due to the 2004 tsunami, I think we can assume they've searched the ship and are now basing their entire culture on some 1981 Hong Kong videotape...

Absolutely fascinating. I'd love it if we could get a view of what their life is like, of course, without actually being physically present on the island (except for remote-controlled cameras, maybe).

Here's a direct Google Maps link to the location of the Primrose, for anyone interested: http://goo.gl/maps/Jkznr

I went to The Andaman and Nicobar islands last year. The guide told us that there are more than 100 islands in the cluster and excluding a few, all other islands require government's permission to visit.

The Anthropological museum in Port Blair houses photographs of the tribal people. I was also fortunate enough to see 2 tribal teenagers closely on my visit to one of the islands.
