Colossal Thursday - LOST Season 3

What About The Big Foot Last Night On LOST's Season Finale?
Ancient accounts describe the The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the original 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, as being built around several stone columns or block towers on the interior of the structure, standing on a 50 foot white marble pedestal near the Mandraki harbour entrance on the island of Rhodes. Iron beams were driven into the stone towers, and bronze plates attached to the bars formed the skinning.

The statue stood about 120 feet tall, roughly the same height as the Statue of Liberty.

The Colossus stood for only 56 years until Rhodes was hit by an earthquake in 224 B.C. The statue snapped at the knees and fell over onto the land.

Bronze is an alloy made of aproximately 60% copper and 40% tin. (I think that means it's susceptible to magnetic fields; i.e. electro-magnetic radiation) Magnetic radiation can also wreak havoc with stuff like mechanical compasses ... which explains how all kinds of stuff like airplanes, sailboats, ships and balloons carrying canned foods get sucked into the dimension we know as "the island."

Gotta always remember to keep punching in those numbers - 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42

Sometimes saying "I was wrong" just ain't enough, Mr. Locke.
