One of the better Lost theories out there...

Taken from a message board at macrumors.com:

was thinking about the whole Lost thing in the shower this morning, and suddenly I figured it all out! Now stay with me here, it's a little hard to chew on at first, but it goes down easy after that...

* The island is the home of Christmas Village
* The Others are actually Santa's elves, gone mad.
* The "Great Man" is Ol' St. Nick himself
* This expains the naughty and nice list the Others are always working from.
* The elves have gone nuts because they don't spend time making presents anymore--the rampant commercialization of Christmas from the mid-20th century on has put them out of work. "Ben," the head elf, has exploited the situation to seize power but keeps Santa around as an impotent figurehead.
* The giant magnetic field under the hatch is the north magnetic pole.
* That explains why you need a submarine to get to the island normally--you need to travel under the arctic ice (the other way to get to the island is through a warp in space and time when an event occurs--obviously too unstable to use for regular travel.)
* This explains the snow-globe hint at the end of season 2.
* Now we know where the polar bears came from.
* Christmas magic keeps the north pole warm, causing the polar ice to melt in a relatively small radius around the pole, exposing the island.

I could go on and on, but I think you will agree that this really is the most reasonable explanation.

Edit: oh yeah, and Locke is like Tiny Tim from Charles Dicken's Christman Story, with 'is bum leg.

Okay so normally I wouldn't put something political on this thing but since it has to do with Apple, I'm obligated. Check out Apple's new product, the iRack!

This needs no explanation...

...other than to say that this is real, really.

Party Like a Rock Star

This is a picture of what is now dominating my refrigerator: An entire case of 24oz Rock Star energy drinks. Yes, that's 24 oz. Just for a frame of reference, a red bull is 8 oz. Rock Star comes in three sizes: 8, 16 and 24 oz and I now have a whole case of the largest thanks to my great friend Leigh Anne Castleman. If you don't know Leigh Anne there's only one thing you need to know about her and it's obvious by this picture... she doesn't mess around. Any normal person would have purchased an 8 oz case. For the slightly more daring, the 16. To purchase a whole case of 24 oz is just insane. So far I've only enjoyed one of these things and at about two thirds of the way through, my whole body started twitching and shaking due to such an insane amount of caffiene and sugar frolicking about my bloodstream. Thankfully, I have 13 more of these experiences to look forward to. Here's another photo of my friend Trey which accurately portrays what can happen when you "party like a Rock Star!"

Important Information from a Bathroom Wall

So the other day I'm in the English building at my school and I'm in the bathroom. In this particular bathroom there was an especially high amount of typical immature scribble all over the walls. You know the scene: "Call hank for a good time: 589-909-2399," or a pot leaf. I was surprised to find, among all the useless graffiti, some information that is actually quite useful. Attached is a poor quality camera-phone picture of said phrase. "Toy Story 2 was OK." I was especially thankful for this nugget of info since I've never seen Toy Story 2 and now I know not to bother because, evidently, it was only okay. So whoever you are out there who decided to take the bathroom wall, an arena historically know for its shenanigans, and making something useful out of it, I thank you.
