>> So what continent is Hawaii on then?

Actually, Hawaii is not on a continent at all, or maybe it sits on its own 
private continent made of recent lava flows from a hot-spot in the mantle 
beneath the basaltic oceanic crust.  There is currently a new island forming 
over a hot-spot in the south as the older islands drift northward.  It has 
not yet reached the surface.

Hawaii gained statehood in August of 1959, making it the same age as 
Bugeyes.  My wife remembers seeing a very badly sunburned President 
Eisenhower driving by in an open limo at that time.

Aloha,
