    So was John Locke's father Brought to the island before the crash because Richard and Ben were waiting for John to arrive? Did Ben really get captured by the losties because he knew from Richard that john Locke was coming? The time traveling can actually clear up a few things...

    Just watched Man On Wire last night, I was pretty good. I didn't love the ending, even though its real life. The relationship between the characters just dissolves, It was kinda sad.

    Definitely worth watching though, the heist angle made this documentary.

    Has anyone seen Style Wars? about Graffiti culture in the late 70's to early 80's. I think thats next on my list, after I finish midterms :(

    side of bens van said "canton rainier". i looked it up to see if there was any significance and one lost forum mentions that its an anagram for reincarnation...not sure what thats worth, but it might be something

    i love this show

    *SNAP*

    i was thinking that was an anagram but forgot to check. Considering Locke is dead and going back to the island I'd say there's a lot of significance to "reincarnation".

    yeah Lost is awesome

    but the knife he chose was his knife from the future. the compass wasnt his. i think the reason he got up and left so quickly is becasue he got freaked out that this crazy old man stumbled out of the jungle and predicted the future. according to farradays time travel thoughts you cant go back and change the past and you cant change the future, meaning either locke is seperated from the timeline (such as the way desmond is) or the writers are just getting ridiculous.

    Are you sure it was his own knife? is that just a guess or am i forgetting something... it would be awesome if it was

    if anyone is still doubting that we're fucked

    2015 - The last year in which the world could afford a net rise in greenhouse gas emissions, after which "very sharp reductions" are required.

    2016 - No more Indium (used for LCDs, solar panels) left*

    2018 - Aral Sea completely gone

    2021 - 50% chance Lake Mead (water resevoir for Pheonix AZ and Las Vegas NV) will be dried up

    2027 - No more Silver left to extract*

    2029 - Antimony (component of batteries, medicine) is gone*

    2030 - Unless overfishing and poaching are addressed, there will be no mature tuna left.

    - Arctic is ice free during the summer

    - Most coral reefs have died due to increased ocean acidification

    2033 - Ogallala Aquifer, which waters one fifth of US agriculture, potentially dries up

    - No more Lead left to extract*

    2036 - No more Tin left to extract*

    2047 - No more Zinc left to extract*

    - No more Uranium left to extract*

    2048 - No more seafood

    * Date if the world's current consumption continues averaged with date if the world's current consumption is halved to get year.

    Basic Economics explain while we most certainly will never extract all the lead, zinc, tin, silver etc...

    Simple analogy: Imagine you win 5 million pistachios as a prize, all the pistachios are in one big room in piles, and you have to eat them in the room (you can't leave with any pistachios). You bring everyone you know to come and eat some pistachios, they throw the shells on the floor when they eat them. After a while you have to search through the shells to find the pistachios with the nut inside to eat.

    Would you ever eat ALL the pistachios?? ....no way .to find the 4,999,999 pistachio you would have to search through 4,999,999 shells.... it wouldn't be worth it. Same thing applies to lead, zinc, tin, silver etc. It will get harder and harder(more and more expensive) to get the reserves out as time goes on, but that practically insures that they're will always be some left in the ground. Because its so expensive and difficult to get the last 1% say out of the ground.

    So you should be skeptical of any reports about oil or lead or zinc just running out or being completely extracted from the ground. People were predicting oil would be used up in the 1800s....
