Hi All,
so here's something i found on the http://www.darmawantsyou.com/ (no 'h' website.
This is what you SEE:
I thought i spotted some unclear text after the paragraph "Upon getting over...". So, I copied the text and pasted in here and this is what i got:
Dharma Wants You

Has There Been An Incursion On This Site By The Hostiles?
You most likely reached this site by accident.

You're probably looking for DharmaWantsYou.com, the gateway website for the Dharma Initiative Recruiting Project.

As a big fan I was equally excited about playing their game, and also made the same typo as you in my haste to check it out.

Upon getting over my shock that such a common typo hadn't been registered by the creators of the site, I decided to be a good samaritan and register it myself to point fellow fans in the right direction with this note before a more sinister cybersquatter used it for evil purposes. (You're lucky I'm one of the good guys.)

As long as I have you here, allow me a quick shameless plug:

If you believe in the Dharma Initiative and you enjoy time travel, check out my novel Timely Persuasion. You'll probably like it too. (No need to visit now, but bookmark it for later...)

To proceed to the real Dharma Initiative website, click below:

http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/

Be careful out there! This thing called "Internet" can be a dangerous place.

Namaste!

Jacob
Dharma Fanatic and author of the novel Timely Persuasion

(Or maybe this is part of the game and I just want you to think that...)

Maybe it has something to do with Romans?
Like, Caligula was born in the year 12, and he died on January 24th, and Galba became emperor in the year 68, and he was born on December 24th.

Is jacob real? Or was it Jacks father the whole time?

I'm kinda under the impression that Ben named him Jacob, but it was really Jacks dad the whole time.

I think those numbers are just out there to get losties hped and excited.

The old numbers are bad luck, could these be good luck? Wait, its LOST, nothing lucky happens on the island, so I doubt it.
My first thought was, "Sweet, new numbers to try on the lotto."

I think I'll have to use both sets of numbers on the lotto now for a while. Maybe the new ones will bring me luck?

No Jacob is not Christian or Goodspeed. In the season 3 episode The Man Behind the Curtain, in the cabin after Locke shines the flashlight on Ben, Jacob starts throwing things around. Then Ben says to Jacob "that's enough, you've had your fun", and Jacob pushes Ben against a wall and the camera moves off Ben and you see Jacob for a split second. You can pause your dvd and see him. He kinda looks like Holtz from Angel. Anyway it was confirmed on that episode's commentary, by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, that that IS Jacob.
