Okay, here's a groovy bit of synchronicity: My last two posts were about Lost and numbers stations. Turns out the mysterious radio transmission in Lost might have been inspired by numbers station!
By the way, I don't actually watch Lost. I read other peoples' comments on the show and I found the whole Dharma Initiative thing intriguing (I've even visited the Dharma Industries site). But when I tried to watch the show, it sucked. Much the same thing happens to me with Star Trek - I hear Trekkies or Trekkers talking excitedly about the Prime Directive and Romulan warp drives and I think, "Sounds interesting...", then I watch an episode and discover it's just a bunch of mutants sitting around a cafeteria. I'm expected to believe a woman is a borg because she has bits of plastic glued to her face? Or that the evolution of life on other planets so closely paralleled human evolution that the aliens look exactly like humans, only with a few more wrinkles in their foreheads? As Fry, star of the only sci-fi show I actually enjoyed, would say, "That dog won't hunt, Monsignor."
