Copin - You are correct, sir! Read Wednighter's Lostpedia listing above where it says from the epi "One of Us" MISSING, not crashed. Good catch. Hmmmm....

I lean toward what Logan wrote - it seems to explain the different photos of Desmond and Penny. And maybe how Desmond could have gone to medical school and almost finish (but had to leave to take care of his 3 brothers), made sets for the Royal Shakespeare company, served in the military, dated a woman for 6 years, trained for a race around the world, lived as a monk, dated Penny for two years, lived on the island for 3 years - and even though we don't know for sure how old Desmond is, he can't be that old, twenties? - so CableRunner and Logan's multiverse might explain how Desmond did all of this in his lifetime, especially since he isn't that old.
