New link on Lost/Hanso Foundation website

by Anna Johns, posted Nov 14th 2005 9:05PM
Hanso Press ReleaseOne of the websites affiliated with Lost has some new information which is, of course, highly suspicious and doesn't make a lot of sense. Exciting!

The Hanso Life-Extension Project link now works in the Active Projects section of the Hanso Foundation website. The foundation, you may remember, is the organization that runs the so-called experiment inside the hatch on the island. The website has been up since that episode but it only provided a short bio on Alvar Hanso and a mission statement for the organization. It had a list of active projects, but none of the links worked. Until now. This new link leads to a press release that was issued on September 21, 2005 and is titled The Hanso Life-Extension Project Celebrates a Milestone. It celebrates the 105th birthday of an orangutan named Joop and it mentions the "transgenic technologies" that extended the life of Joop could some day be applied to humans.

There is also an invisible link on the website to the film that appeared in the Orientation episode. I compared the website version to the version of the film that aired and, as far as I can tell, it's the same thing. That's interesting to me, because the film appears to be missing a chunk.

[Thanks Dakota Dux!]

Maybe everyone knows this already, but Joop was the name of the orangutan in _The Mysterious Island_ by Jules Verne about a group of Union military men from the Civil War landing on an island with a mysterious, hidden benefactor.

perhaps the name change is because of the long running time of the project, and his son took over (not unlikely, and the name thing works out then)

Enter "Copenhagen". Also, read the press release carefully. The name change? Intentional or did the writer screw up?

Entering any number gives you that quote which is the same quote from the Alvar Hanso bio page

entering the sequence 4 8 15 16 23 42 gets you past the 'access denied page' to a quote from the Hanso Founder From the dawn of our species, Man has been blessed with curiosity. Our most precious gift, without exception, is the desire to know more - to look beyond what is accepted as the truth and to imagine what is possible. - Alvar Hanso, Address to the U.N. Security Council, 1967

There is also a link in the last sentence of the letter. It goes to a broken up jumble of text saying access denied and a space to enter a code.
