more lost stuff

So I headed over to the Oceanic Air website that Catherine just posted about. I have a nervous tic when I'm reading web pages, where I highlight and unhighlight text rapidly with my mouse. Well, doing this revealed that the DHTML on the page around the fake President's closure notice is (intentionally?) broken. Dragging your mouse around, you can find an image of a page of the show's script. A page of a (EDIT: presumably) upcoming episode's script. A page about the monster.

This page, in fact. Click on it for the full-size view.

Click here for an article about the Mapinguari. Short version: mythical deadly Amazonian bigfoot. The script appears to add "cyborg" to that list of adjectives.

Rockin'.

UPDATE: Needless to say, whether the DHTML was intentionally broken or not, fake-crumpled-up script pages don't magically photograph and upload themselves onto servers. It's clearly planted. But is it to throw us off or to tantalize the faithful? I think it's the latter -- the monster's not the punchline.

UPDATE 2: From the last post I see that Susan found it, too. A time-release easter egg, maybe? It's a little hard to believe that Whitney Matheson's Lost-obsessed acolytes couldn't find it, but we both did within the span of ten minutes.

UPDATE 3: This is hilariously plausible.

to help keep us occupied in the lonely summer months...

1. Go to the "official" Oceanic Airlines Website.
2. At the bottom, where it says "Travellers," enter Hurley's unlucky lottery numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.
3. Click the "Find" button.
4. Click on the row numbers on the flight's seating chart that match Hurley's numbers.
5. Don't blink.
6. Change shorts.
7. Figure out what the hell it all means.
