Random LOST Thoughts

  • I’m not sure if Sayid’s decided to follow NotLocke because he’s “infected” or because he was promised to be with Nadia again.  If it’s the later, once again, women make men crazy.
  • NotLocke said “Hello Sayid” before Sayid stabbed him, which makes me wonder if speaking first saved his life (per Dogan’s instructions).
  • Sayid seemed to be a lot like Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith with his killing of Dogen and the John Lennon looking dude and his overall being played like a pawn and glazed emotions.
  • The boomerang was a nice gift, and I would say it was somewhat symbolic.
  • We met Sayid’s brother before in a season five episode when they were much younger and Omer was taunting Sayid for not being man enough to kill a chicken.  I guess things are much different between the two now.
  • The loan shark guy that Sayid kills is a familiar face.
  • I did enjoy Smokey going postal.
  • There hasn’t been a significant death in a while, I wonder if that is going to change.  Well, there was Dogan, but his character was short lived, but I have a feeling we aren’t done with him yet.  Oh, wait, we found out Locke really died, so I guess that counts.
  • I did like how Dogan was trying to kill Sayid by sending him out in the jungle with that story.
  • The Dude had a interesting comment the other day that the flash-sideways is leading us to the end of the show, that since everything was reset, we are seeing how life would have been.
  • I bet next week we find out why babies don’t survive on The Island, and it all has to do with no one replacing the current leader.
  • I’m interested to see when we will see Widmore again.  The same goes for Desmond.  I wonder if Christian Shepherd will make another appearance.

Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on power line

MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) – Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.

Grays Harbor County sheriff’s Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM’-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn’t see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger’s body.

I remember watching an episode of Mythbusters were they disproved this, but then again, they were working with a much lower dose of electricity.

An Atheist Defends the Bible

My longtime readers know that I like to get many perspectives when it comes to things regarding politics and religion.  Well, this post deals with the latter.  I feel that even though I may not agree with a person’s view, I can still learn from them and I can get a better idea of what people think of my views, unfiltered.

I’ve been following former Christian and current atheist Daniel Florien for a while now.  I like how he writes about his history and find insight on his perspective on things regarding the Christian faith.  He does this with a non-confrontational view and provides a lot of substance with his thoughts, well, at least in my opinion.

Anyways, last week he made a post about defending the Bible.  I know many of you will probably not agree with his post because he takes a very liberal view of the Bible, but then again, you don’t read about an atheist defending the Bible everyday either.

So here’s the piece, and I would be interested in your thoughts.
