Anyone had any luck with 1-877-HANS ORG??

I only got Persephone like 1 out of 10 times.

When I send a message to Joop, it says "connection timeout." Is that happening to anyone else?

Yes, I did all that and got to the document about the Tanzanian coastal cross species virus! Which makes me wonder.

Do you think they are all off the coast of Tanzania? Remember there was a chat a while back about Arzt (sp?) going on about monsoon season, yet it never actually came? It would explain Eko's brothers plane! But not flight 815, unfortunately.

Katie,

I'm impressed!

I can just remember Sawyer or Jack saying "I thought the weather was supposed to change...it never did" or something to that effect, and I thought then if they were really anywhere near Fiji.

I was aware that Tanzania and Zanzibar are geographically in the same locale...I didn't know off the top of my head much else. But I've always been really bugged by that Nigerian plane!

It would be sad, ultimately, if you needed a biology or physics degree to understand Lost...but it might be going that way :) But when you think about it, if I was thrown in a jungle randomly anywhere on earth I might not be any the wiser about where I was. Especially if I originally knew I was around the Pacific Islands. There's only so many trees I can identify!

Um, I have nothing to say about this scientific malarkey; it's completely over my head. However, I am glad that we have a member such as Katie who can actually understand this. I'm proud of Lost for not "dumbing down" their internet wild goose chase, but come on, give a girl a break.

Jimmy, you're haunting my subconscious and I don't know why. Katie, congrats on graduation, make the sign!

This is going to be a very busy off-season; I don't think we're going to have enough time to even notice there aren't any new episodes.

Besides the Hanso site, there is another piece of the puzzle with Gary Troup's book, The Bad Twin. If you go to Amazon.com, you can watch an interview clip with the author "Gary Troup", which mentions Alvar Hanso (and an interesting reaction from Gary when the interviewer mentions him), but also there's a website for Gary Troup (did I mention that's an anagram for "Purgatory") at http://www.garytroup.net/splash.htm

This is fun! You guys can handle the scientific stuff, I'll work on the information analysis...

For those without the time, patience or flash-enabled work computer, here is a decent rundown of the Hanso site stuff:

That weird thing that comes up with the cells and the lines joining them together, then intersecting with all the other lines that are made - does that look anything like the lines on the map that Locke saw to anyone else? Or is just me trying to see something that's not really there?
