stevestojan Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Just browsing some sites about the show. The numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42) obviously show up ALOT throughout the show. But a guy on one site went a step farther. We know that the time limit on the clock of the hatch is 108 minutes, and the numbers add up to 108. The guy on this website noticed that in one episode, the big dipper is shown in the sky in one scene. "In the night sky, Messier object 108 (known as M108) is a spiral galaxy residing in the constellation Ursa Major. 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108." He then goes on to say: "If you map out the 'Numbers' on a Connect Four board, it is the shape of Ursa Major. Could this be a coincidence?" And here is his picture to show that he actually tested this out: Big Dipper Vs. the LOST "Numbers" on a Connect Four board And the entire website about the "numbers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 That is crazy! But is he right? Crazy if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the galaxy NGC 108 is in Andromeda. If you map out the Lost numbers on a parchessi board, it has absolutely sh---all to do with NGC 108 and Andromeda.

Everone knows that when you are mapping out star coordingates on a connect 4 board you number the board from left to right and THEN up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the James Bond movie Dr. No starring Ursa Andress there is a lot of gunfire. There are only six people killed however. They are killed with shots #..... 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42. Also, James bangs the living daylights out of Andress in a hotel. The room number? You guessed it. 108 Between Ursa Andress and Ursa Major there is probably an answer. NOT. The writers are more likely to map something on the Candyland board for an answer. They know their audience is not yet advanced yet for the intricacies of Connect Four. Still, the Ursa connection is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing his highest point total in a year was 108? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's why: If you shine a 108,000 lumen flashlight off of Messier's bald head and project the light through a Connect 4 board with Ursa Major set up, onto the back of a Candyland board, you get the real secret message of Lost which is: DRINK MORE OVALTINE.

eSJayDee Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 In the James Bond movie Dr. No starring Ursa Andress... Except that her name is/was ursula. So much for that theory, or can you 'splain that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, her real name was Ursa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
