Word Freak
Aside from the Gilgamesh illusion (42 down, natch), is there anything else anyone can find in Locke's crossword puzzle? I looked up ETE (26 down), which has been cited as an anagram for Electronic Training Environment, Engineering Test Equipment, and Environmental Test Engineering.
And is it just me, or do some of these words make absolutely no sense? Sure, crosswords use combination clues (like "a man" = "aman"), but nonetheless, "acolins," "alain, " and "ghare" aren't in the dictionary. I guess Locke has to have a few flaws, like being bad at crosswords.
Eko rules!
P.S. In concordance with my theory that Eko is Locke's "echo", their first words spoken are simply: "Hello" and "Hello."
