April Fools prank pulled on TV station

Some lame TV news show was pranked by its viewers yesterday. During their birthday segment the anchors were tricked into saying names like Dixie Normous, Emmerson Bigguns, Gabe Asher, Craven Morehead, Mike H... well, you get the idea. Come on, TV guys! If two idiots like Brandi and I can filter out the fake birthday names every morning, I'm sure there's someone on your staff that could figure it out too!

Just in time for Easter: a bunny with two noses

Best April Fools prank this year goes to Trent Reznor

Trent Reznor released a new album online yesterday that was produced by Timbaland. Luckily, it was just an elaborate hoax. Not bad, Trent... way to pull one over on us AND make fun of Chris Cornell at the same time!

Tauntaun sleeping bag

Now you can sleep soundly and warm, even if you happen to be on the ice planet of Hoth. I love this tauntaun sleeping bag, complete with printed entrails on the lining. Get your own here.

Lost: Ben WAS born on the island!

Finally, we get a piece of the puzzle that makes some sense of what's going on! As the title of the show suggests "Everything that happened, happened." Hurley and Miles' conversation finally puts that into focus. The future has already happened, anything they try to do in the past to change things just won't work. And just when you think you're doing things to change the future (Sayid shooting Ben, Douche... er, Jack refusing to operate on Ben) you're actually doing what's necessary to make the future happen the way it's supposed to.

As I said last week, Ben needed to be shot by Sayid. This way, he could be brought to Richard Alpert to be "reborn". Remember back a few seasons Ben claimed to be born on the island. We later found out he was actually born in Portland and just assumed he was a liar. Now we know he was really telling the truth. And we now know why he was able to kill his father and wipe out the Dharma Initiative; because when you're re-born you lose your innocence and aren't quite the same (much like Pet Cemetery). I'm guessing that this is what also happened to Claire, Christian Shepard and Locke. The smoke monster that lives in that creepy temple has something to do with giving life and taking it away.

Quick observations and 1 awesome new theory:

1 - Wouldn't it be creepy if Kate and Ben's dad got together? I don't think it'll happen, but there seemed to be some chemistry there.

2 - Kate's motivation to come back to the island finally makes sense; she wants to bring back Claire. It looks like Sawyer and Juliette are going to stay together and somehow Kate and Jack will get back together once Jack gets off his period.

3 - Am I the only one who thought for a second that Claire was kidnapping Aaron at the supermarket? The fact that she looked like Claire made Kate realize that she's got to reunite Aaron and his real mom.

4 - So Richard is running things for the Others along with Ellie and Charles Widmore. It also seems like there is a bit of a power struggle there. Richard claims he doesn't answer to them. I wonder if we'll see young Penny and Faraday playing out in the jungle with mom and dad?

5 - Why is no one questioning why the mechanic lady is operating on a little boy?

6 - And finally, I'm making a bold prediction: The Dharma doctor is Christian Shepard! He's out at the Looking Glass station all week and can't make it back to operate on a kid? That explains why he was reborn when he returned to the island in a casket (just like Locke). Jack's gonna freak when his dad shows up!
