How can they sell it on Ebay?  That doesn't sound right. After all those leaks got out on the LOST bulletin board on the ABC site the producers, writers, cast members and all buttoned up about anything that was going on in the show.  I read the 'spoiler' post and everything that post said has come true.  That's weird.  I would like to see it, but I don't know.  I like the anticipation!

Location of the island\nIn episode 3.28, titled "The Pigeon", the note the castaways pin on pigeon's leg says the island is located approximately 300 miles southeast of Hawaii. This general location is referred to in various episodes. \nIn episode 1.18, entitled "X Marks the Spot", viewers were informed that the Pentagon had decided to test a new warhead just above the equator at 140 degrees latitude and 10 degrees longitude. This is actually one of the series' bigger goofs, as latitude is measured north and south of the equator to the poles and only ranges from 0 to 90 degrees. If coordinates were simply reversed — 140 degrees longitude and 10 degrees north latitude, this would place the island approximately 1200 miles southeast of Hawaii. \nA common question is how the castaways, presumably the Professor in particular, were able to determine their location, given that the island itself was supposedly not on any of the Skipper's nautical charts. It is a simple thing to determine one's latitude simply by measuring the angle of the North Star, Polaris, above the horizon at night. Determining longitude is considerably more difficult. They would need to measure the difference between the time of "noon" at their location, and "noon" of some known position, presumably Honolulu. However, if they are indeed only 300 miles to the southeast of Hawaii, the time difference between their "noon" and Honolulu's "noon" would only be about 12 minutes. Such a small differential would be extremely difficult to measure by observation alone, but not necessarily impossible.\n\n[edit]\nA more realistic location of the island\nPerhaps a more interesting question is to ask "where could Gilligan's Island actually be" ? (What follows is an exercise in logic, and it should be noted that the conclusions are completely contrary to assumptions in the show itself. It is merely presented as "food for afterthought".)\n\nThe initial location, 300 miles from Hawaii, is based on the premise that they awoke the next morning shipwrecked on the island. Assuming they left in the afternoon and awoke mid-morning that would be about 20 hours time elapsed. At a cruising speed of 15 knots, they would end up about 300 miles from home. However..........\n\nGiven :\n\nThey set out from Honolulu for a 3 hour tour, and that the weather was good where and when they left. Honolulu is on the Southwest corner of the island of Oahu. They would therefore most likely be cruising on the southwest side of Oahu. \nIt should be safe to assume that the cruise would plan to stay within sight of shore at all times. A 3-hour tour would take them perhaps 15-20 miles out of the harbor, and then back. This assumes a cruising speed of approximately 10-15 knots, which is a reasonable pleasure cruising rate. This is not enough time to leave the waters around Oahu and get to, or near, any other island. Since there is nothing to see away from shore, they must have planned to view Honolulu from the ocean. \nThe storm must have approached from the southwest. Tropical depressions, storms, and hurricanes (called typhoons in the Pacific) are cyclonic storms. That is to say that they spin around a central area (eye). The rotation in the northern hemisphere is counter-clockwise. If the storm approached from any other direction, it would have already been stormy on Oahu before they left. \nTropical storms generally travel from southeast towards the northwest. They generally move at about 5-10 knots While cyclonic storms have been known to deviate from this generality for short periods of time, it is virtually unheard of for one to actually travel 300 miles in the opposite direction of normal travel. To cover that distance would require close to two full days. \nUsing these assumptions, they would have likely been drawn into the storm at about the Two O'clock position in the cyclonic storm.

I don't remember any of the episodes, but Peter Tork was my favorite.  I saw a pic of him on the net several months ago and he is still a ham.\n\nFunny you should ask.  I still have a postcard from their fan club.  Some things you just can't get rid of.

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

New Orleans' Mardi Gras revelers will spend today downing Hurricanes, gawking at naked flesh, and begging paraders for colored beads with the traditional plea, "Throw me something, mister!" How did the bead-throwing custom begin?\n\nThe first recorded instances of Mardi Gras paraders tossing souvenirs to the crowd date back to the 1840s, when revelers costumed as aristocrats threw out baubles and sugar-coated almonds. Other, less savory characters preferred "trick" to "treat" and pelted onlookers with an assortment of dirt, flour, and quicklime. The dissemination of handouts—or "throws," in Mardi Gras parlance—is widely believed to have derived from festival customs in Renaissance Europe, where pre-Lenten carnivals often involved projectiles (hurled about after villagewide ale-and-mead binges). Some historians theorize that the tradition has roots in a pagan post-winter ritual, during which lucky peasants who'd survived the cold months celebrated by throwing milled grain into the fields—an offering of gratitude to the deity (or deities) who had given them enough food to last.\n\nGlass beads did not become a New Orleans Mardi Gras staple until the 1880s, after Anglo-American "krewes" had formed to organize the loose-knit festivities. Legend has it that the first parade participant to use beads was a man dressed up as Santa Claus; the ornamental strands were such a hit that other krewes picked up on the ritual. By 1900, when at least 100,000 tourists a year flocked to the Crescent City for Mardi Gras, beaded throws were ubiquitous.\n\nContinue Article\nwhy you fly national\n\nToday's plastic-or-aluminum beads have earned substantial notoriety for their role in a sexual bartering system; women often bare their breasts for a strand or two. (And sometimes go the Full Monty for a particularly enticing throw.) Despite claims that this custom dates back decades, a 1996 paper in the academic journal Social Forces could trace the beads-for-nudity movement only back to the 1970s.\n\nBonus Explainer: A krewe known as "Zulu" has become famous for handing out (not throwing) Mardi Gras coconuts in lieu of beads. The practice ceased briefly in the 1980s, owing to liability concerns—no insurance company would cover Zulu, fearing that an errant coconut might dent a merrymaker's skull. Zulu leaders appealed to the Louisiana state legislature, pointing out that beads and other Mardi Gras trinkets were exempted from liability laws. In 1987, then-Governor Edwin Edwards signed the "Coconut Bills," adding Zulu's heavy, oblong handouts to the list.

He was "The Skipper" from Gilligan's Island.\n\n\nDo you know Gilligan's first name?  It was only said once during the entire run of the series.\n\nIf you want the answer, you should choose me for best answer, and I will be happy to give it to you.\nOr if you want, you can just e-mail me and I will tell you.

I've got one of those books. Yeah "weird puzzle" makes sense. If you think about it, the creatures who were the Wuzzles were all 2 different creatures muddled together kind of like a puzzley thing and a lot of them made no sense at all, like "Bumblelion", half lion, half bee. That is weird.

What we found out tonight was that this entire show, from the beginning up through tonight, has been about one person.....DESMOND\n\nPenny's billionaire father is bank-rolling this Dharma Project. It has something to do with the giant magnet under the island. Penny knew about this experiment, but never knew which island.\n\nShe knew that Desmond was going to be in her father's "Around the World" boat race. She knew that the magnet would draw Desmond's boat to this particular island. Her father knew this also, since he was still seeking revenge on Desmond for never taking the bribe to stay away from Penny.\n\nPenny has had her team of scientists searching the planet for this magnetic anomoly. When Desmond turned the "fail safe" key, it started the electro-magnetic pulse which were picked up by Penny's scientists in the Artic. Now Penny knows where the island is, and will start looking for Desmond.\n\nThis whole show has been about the lost love between Penny and Desmond, and the revenge that Desmond and Penny's father seek upon each other....who knew??..:-)

Once upon a time... there was this guy who was the president. While president, he got caught with his pants down and lied to try and save face. \n Now the opposing party knew this was the big break they had been looking for. One of the members boasted, "we could put a monkey in office now". And that is exactly what they did. \nThe End

OK, now let's leave poor Bill Clinton out of this!\nYes, there was a story back in the 80's about a creature over in Monkey Run AR, near where I live.  I haven't heard much else.
