    Papa Maji wa Maji = ?

    Looks like Swahili, but what does it mean?

    Something to do with water? and maybe a shark / pope ?

                my swahili is slowly fading but i do recall "papa maji" means to allow water to pass. A shark is also called Papa but i could be wrong as i rarely speak the language any more.

                    hmmmmmm......no one even came close.<sniffs>
                    although I'll give credit for sniffing out the Swahili connection

                    Refer to history of East Africa = "Maji Maji Rebellion"
                    then add Papa = Father

                    clue: not related to "Mother of all Wars"
                    Go figure......
                    .....my day will come
