I've got a theory.

In last weeks show Juliet was speaking Latin with the other captives....turns out all "others" speak the ancient language.

She said Ricardus for Richard........which got me thinking; what's the latin word for Jack?

I didn't come up with this theory...

Maybe Miles is the baby shown in the premier. He isn't having nosebleeds and Daniel asked if he was sure he hadn't been on the island before.

Well, I like the idea that he might be the baby shown in the Premiere(in fact, I think there is a good chance he is since at this point in the series, with only one more season to go, they should not be introducing too many more new characters) but he Did have a nosebleed.........but that actually proves your point. Had he not had any nose bleeds than he'd be less likely to have been the baby don't you think?

Ya, you're right about the nosebleed.

How much do you want to bet that Richard has only four toes on each foot?

I'll take that bet:

If he does, I will post a 150 word essay on why I love Obama in the Grind....if he doesn't you got to post a 150 word essay on why Newt should be our next President;)

All kidding aside, I still think one of the 815'ers will lose a toe before the end of this season.

Perhaps Locke will lose it sometime while Jack and Ben are playing weekend at Bernies with his body:D

I'm totally serious. I think he’s a member (perhaps the last surviving one) of the island’s original four toed inhabitants. Here's why:

It’s been confirmed now that Richard is very old – perhaps immortal. None of the rest of the “others” has shown that trait.

He seems more connected to the island than even Ben or John.

He’s given a great deal deference by the rest of the “others” – including even Ben. Hell, sometimes Ben seems to be in awe of him.

That's mostly true except Ben never seemed to give him all that much deference though. On more than a few occasions he was barking orders at Richard...in fact, he showed more respect to Jack than he did to Richard imho.

Also, a young Widmore didn't seem too keen on following direct orders given to him by Richard(when told to put the gun down, Richard had to physically remove the gun from the immature Other).
