well, here's an odd thing:

if i search for pahia from firefox 3.6, it returns 'Pahia, New Zealand'
if i search from IE7, it returns 'Pahia, Aotearoa' . Aotearoa is the
Maori name for New Zealand. or rather, new Zealand is the English name
for Aotearoa

any suggestions why?

can someone else try this, and see what happens
