Those of you who were watching Lost on C4 might have seen an add for the hanso foundation. Did anyone think I did and wanted to find out more for some reason.

http://www.thehansofoundation.org/

After a few clicks around the site an image was at the top of an artical on that site. Its a guy behind a window and its black and white. This same shot was seen in the film reel that Lock watched with Jack in the bunker thing they found. A quick search aslo came up with Wikipedia results, I didn't read the whole artical as it had spoilers but it does say the following:

In the fictional world of the television series Lost, The Hanso Foundation was formed by arms purveyor Alvar Hanso who turned his attention away from "keeping the world safe through the development of sophisticated weapons systems" and focused instead on the development of new technologies to "create a brighter future for all humanity." Alongside this, he also developed a taste for fine wines and Belgian chocolates.

The Hanso Foundation, through its funding of The DHARMA Initiative, was involved in the construction of facilities on the Lost island.

The DHARMA Initiative is a fictional research project featured in the American television series Lost. It was first discussed in the second-season episode Orientation. DHARMA has been confirmed as an acronym by the show's creators, although what it stands for has not yet been disclosed.

Hehehehe...

Did you ring the number mate? I did...

Yeah, I went on this today, this, and other sites, are a goldmine of information.

Found it by clicking around on the Hanso site...the clock on there turned to OB:EY...

Click on the TVs until they turn green...notice how you have to click on the first TV 4 times, the second TV 8 times...4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42! The numbers! When you've done it, you get a code. I've tried it on every log in screen on every site I've been on, no luck.

There's an absolute ton of Lost info and theories on the internet...

The new Mission Impossible 3 movie is being directed by one of the creators of Lost (J.J. Abrams). At the end of the movie, in the credits, Abrams even gives a special thanks to the Hanso Foundation ffs!

There's far too much to read on the internet...personally, I believe the whole island's one big experiment. DHARMA and Hanso are both companies associated with human evolution, psychology, the planet itself etc....though, what the experiment itself is, I have no idea. Though yeah, I reckon nothing will happen if you let the timer count down to zero...

Sorry about being off topic, but the season finale of Season 2 has not aired. I had this week's episode taped for me, because I was in Washington D.C. all week, and I'm sure it wasn't the finale, because then it would have been alot more hyped. But they are certainly leading up to it...
