I think Locke must be a little relieved that someone knows about him, and respects the island's power like he dose.
A quick note on magnets. When my Honey was recovering from his fourth surgery to put the pieces of his feet back together, the doctor set him up with a wierd little machine. He put his foot in the open area of what looked like a short plastic squared off tube with timer. It created a magnetic feild that some believe may be able to help stimulate bone growth. It seemed to work. Because we saw some growth were we didn't expect to see any more. I never count out the faith we had that he would recover but, I won't ever look at magnets the same way again either.
