Random Lost Thoughts

  • So the island is moved . . . this may explain why Jack can not find the island in the season ender last year.
  • You often hear the joke how men always refuse to admit they are lost but women will find their way. That thought entered my mind when Locke found Claire in the cabin. I guess somewhere along the way she asked for directions.
  • This may not make any sense to many of you, but I think Jack’s dad is alive only because the island is in the past and he isn’t dead yet.
  • The producers chose to play a Buddy Holly song at the beginning – he was also involved in a plane crash.
  • When Locke was wheeled to the edge of that stair case I was freaking out.
  • Hurley provides great comic relief – and it was nice of him to share that candy bar with Ben.
  • For the most part I can stretch the plausibility for this show, but when Locke found that paper map in decent condition on Horace’s corpse which has been out in a jungle for 12 years that was a bit much.
  • The best Simpson’s character Locke can be compared to is Frank Grimes. And I bet only three of you understand that statement.
  • If Locke is looking for a them song for his life, I would recommend “It’s A Hard-Knock Life.”
  • There was a picture of Sir Richard Burton in Locke’s locker.
  • I wonder if Orson from Desperate Housewives was the one that ran over Locke’s mother?  Probably not, I’m thinking it was the same guy that drove the bus that ran over Juliet’s husband, who I think is Richard Alpert.
  • Many theorists thinks Locke’s dad is actually Sawyer’s dad Anthony Cooper.
  • Both Ben and Locke are born premature and have a mother named Emily.
  • I don’t think Jack should be following that beacon, he should be running away from it.
  • Here’s the comic that was layed out in front of little-Locke.
  • Here’s another interesting screen grap I found over at LostEasterEggs that compares the painting in Jack and Kate’s house to a past Christian Shepard scene.

Blind Bowler Scores Perfect Game

DES MOINES, Iowa — A blind Iowa man scored a perfect 300 game at the Century Lanes bowling alley on Saturday, The Storm Lake Times reported.

The Times said Dale Davis, 78, of Alta, called the game “quite a thrill.” He rolled 12 back-to-back strikes, the first-ever perfect game at the Century Lanes, The Times reported.

Excitement throughout the building grew as the crowd watched Davis roll ball after ball down the lanes.

“When I got to the tenth frame, I said ‘Lord, let me throw three more good balls,’ Davis told The Times.

Davis had given up his passion for the sport after losing his sight to macular degeneration years ago. His sister brought him back to the lanes, where he now plays six games a week, reported The Times.

“I can’t see the lane or the pins and have a heck of a time finding my ball sometimes,” Davis told The Times.

He finds the raised dots lining the lanes and then relies on his hearing and friends to tell him how well he did.

The perfect game has been his goal for years.

“After I went blind, I just assumed it wouldn’t happen,” said Davis.

Davis sports a 188 average and said he hopes to score another perfect game when he’s 90, The Times reported.

New idea in mortuary science: Dissolving bodies with lye

CONCORD, N.H. – Since they first walked the planet, humans have either buried or burned their dead. Now a new option is generating interest — dissolving bodies in lye and flushing the brownish, syrupy residue down the drain.

The process is called alkaline hydrolysis and was developed in this country 16 years ago to get rid of animal carcasses. It uses lye, 300-degree heat and 60 pounds of pressure per square inch to destroy bodies in big stainless-steel cylinders that are similar to pressure cookers.

No funeral homes in the U.S. — or anywhere else in the world, as far as the equipment manufacturer knows — offer it. In fact, only two U.S. medical centers use it on human bodies, and only on cadavers donated for research.
