Someone has dug up from the Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian a likely translation of the heiroglyphics.
I think the sheer geekiness of the fans may be my favorite thing about Lost...
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Clancy Brown was the Kurgan in the first Highlander movie, and Brother Justin in Carnivale. He can be heard as Mr. Krabs in Spongebob.
And Lex Luthor on Justice League and the 90's Superman cartoon.
And Rawhide from Buckaroo Banzai!!! One of his few good guy roles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Earth 2, people.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I said Earth 2.

CLANCY!
I got so geeked out when I saw Clancy.
Also, whatever the heiroglyphs mean, they do mean for sure that technically Locke did not get the numbers in on time. He was late by a second or two.

I was SO hoping for an Earth-shattering KABOOM.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Me too. But apparently instead of "risk all of our lives," Locke should have said "freak us out for a couple of seconds." Whatever.

Really??? Because it looked to me like he was still struggling with early numbers with two seconds left, two seconds passed, then the clock started to go all flippy and heiroglyphic, then he hit enter and everything fixed itself. Is my memory bad? I was sure time had run out.
Of course, it's TV time, so who knows....
