LOST - Season Premiere Wednesday 9:00 PM EDT

Looks to me like "16" is just below the sun/cog, and to the left...

If you look closer right beneath the sun that number is "108". If you follow the zero from the 108 in the sun straight down you can see an "8". Also in the big blue arrow towards the bottom just above the light source you can see the number 15

You should stop reading threads with hundreds of posts then, because no one but you is religiously reading every post every time and double-checking so that they don't repeat an idea or link that someone else has posted previously.

Message boards are not about credit, they're about discussion. If something comes up again, it's probably because it's especially germaine.

It's not about credit. And I don't believe I'm the only one who reads every post in a thread no matter how long it is. If I find a topic I think is interesting but has too many posts to catch up I just don't get into it or I skim it and don't post. In a discussion thread like this I absolutely want to read every post because I want to see what other's have found out and observed. If someone doesn't and they post redundant or identical information it is annoying.

Double post. Ooopsy!

The ABC logo (circle around lower case "abc") appears TWICE in the lower right-hand corner... Once I can understand, but twice is odd... I see no fish or house (and I understand there is supposed to be an eye, the letter "M", and the word "sick", too, but I don't see them, either). I do see what look like two hands, one holding a blue thing, the other reaching out, fingers spread...

There are two houses, actually- one in the lower left corner, and one next to the arrow. The eye is next to a fish next to the second house (all three are below the 42). The M and Sick are next to the eye (all in the lower right corner).

That one 108 does look like a 16 (that's what I thought it was at first too), but closer examination reveals that the part at the top of the 0 that makes it look like a 6 is actually just one of the rays of light from the sun.

There are a couple of fish below the sun in the left corner as well.

As you say, though, art is subjective, so these symbols/objects could possibly look different to different people, or have some other meaning.

So, has anyone seen a timeline of the year minus the numbers to see what events took place? 108 = 1897, 48 = 1957, 23 = 1982, etc?

1897 - Two events stick out:
1) Mark Twain, responding to rumors that he was dead, is quoted by the New York Journal as saying, "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

2) First use of the word computer meaning an electronic calculation device.

1957 items that caught my notice...

1) The International Atomic Energy Agency is established.

2) Sputnik program: The Soviet Union launches Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. Sputnik program: The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 2. On board is the first animal to enter space - a dog named Laika (she was kept alive for several days in space with a sophisticated life-support system).

3) First US attempt to launch a satellite fails, blowing up on the launchpad.

1982 this is getting interesting!

1) January 13 - Shortly after takeoff, Air Florida Flight 90 crashes into Washington, DC's 14th Street Bridge and falls into the Potomac River, killing 78. Half an hour later, a Washington Metro train derails, killing 3. It is the system's first fatal accident.

2) March 10 - Syzygy: all 9 planets align on the same side of the Sun.

3) The Weather Channel airs on cable television for the first time.

4) December 7 - First US execution by lethal injection is carried out in Texas.
