Lost Secrets Revealed!
Those of us familiar with the epic Fox television series Lost have learned two very important lessons:
1) It is quite possibly the most addictive TV show on the planet. Renting the first two seasons on DVD is an automatic two-week television bender, that will leave you very confused when you come to. Your house will be empty save for some empty pizza boxes, a carton of Ben and Jerry’s, and your sleeping dog - still lethargic from the countless leftover crusts he ate. Blindly obeying your subconscious urges, you probably have yet to realize lesson 1 and will immediately go rent seasons 3 and 4. However, lesson 2 will already be permanently ingrained in your brain:
2) Fear dark and ominous shrouds of smoke!
Life imitated TV on Thursday when the United Nations released a report about noxious smog covering Asia. The brown atmospheric clouds can be almost a mile thick, spread from the Arabian Peninsula to the Yellow Sea, and block out up to 25 percent of the sunlight in cities across Asia. Unless China and other booming industrial countries in Asia make an effort to combat the pollution, the Himalayan glaciers could be reduced by 75% in 2050. Effects of the pollution are already being seen in the rice yields across Asia, and inhalation of the air can be devastating to a person’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
So let’s stop playing out fiction in real life and keep the deadly plumes of smoke on the TV show. There’s no way Jake and Kate are stranded on some hidden island in the middle of Beijing anyway... or is there?
