the Hanso Foundation

"From the dawn of our species, Man has been blessed with curiosity. Our most precious gift, without exception, is the desire to know more - to look beyond what is accepted as the truth and to imagine what is possible."
-Alvar Hanso, Address to the U.N. Security Council, 19 (the fictitious leader of the Hanso Foundation)

Did you see? Did you watch? OMG! Love it! I didn't know it was coming. Glad I didn't read any spoilers. Did you also notice the weird Hanso Foundation commercial? I recognized it right away because I had already visited the website and was shocked to see it actually on TV. What does it have to do with LOST? I don't really know. You should check out the website when you get a chance: http://thehansofoundation.org/

Here's more about the HANSO FOUNDATION:

On www.thehansofoundation.org prior to March 2006, the following mission statement was presented:
The Hanso Foundation stands at the vanguard of social and scientific research for the advancement of the human race. For forty years, the foundation has offered grants to worthy experiments designed to further the evolution of the human race and provide technological solutions to the most pressing problems of our time.

The Hanso Foundation: a commitment to encouraging excellence in science and technology and furthering the cause of human development.

With the website update in May 2006 the wording of the mission statement was changed as follows:
The Hanso Foundation stands at the vanguard of social and scientific research for the advancement of the human race. For forty years, the foundation has offered grants to worthy experiments seeking to promote world peace through improved health, prevention, vitality and longevity.

The Hanso Foundation. Reaching out to a better tomorrow.

Take away from it what you will. Crazy how elaborate this stuff is, huh? Good stuff, it is.

    Lost seems to have its own blog. It is supposedly an "official" blog, but who actually knows? It does contain clues from the show: http://thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com/

    The drunkards were killed! Damn. Am I dreaming?! Glad to see Fight Girl out, but I didn't think they'd kill off crazy Libby, too. Man. Oh, so I tried to click on the Web site link but I guess my work doesn't have Flash so I got some generic message saying so. At the end though, it said "Thank you and Namaste." "Namaste" is a yoga greeting. Interesting. Check out these sites for a more thorough explanation:
