Was looking through screen caps and discovered there was a piece of paper next to the scull...if you rotate the picture, or can read upside down i suppose, It has a heading of "Ho'oulu Lahui." I looked it up and it is says it is a non-profit organization in Hawaii with some affiliation to a school. Is this a prop error? Is it there for a reason? Seems to me if they new they were going to focus on the skull for even a brief second, knowing how often fans scrutinize screen shots, they would have not included an irrelevant document. I know its probably not anything but i found it odd.
In Hawaii, Keikialoha Kekipi and Ho'oulu Lahui of Pahoa were honored. Ho'oulu Lahui, an educational nonprofit organization, preserves cultural traditions and practices of ancient Hawaiians. By embracing traditional concepts and merging them with the latest in technology, its goal is a sustainable community living in harmony with the environment.
The organization's 600-acre coastal land base includes an ancient Hawaiian village that serves as a cultural and environmental learning center. Ho'oulu Lahui's partnership with Kua oka La Public Charter school includes plans for the first totally driven solar school in the state of Hawaii.
''Ho'oulu Lahui is an exemplary environmental model for educational agencies,'' the EPA said. Among its activities, it partners with college students on forest management and hosts students, families and educators from across the world on its solar program and other environmental practices.
Continuity of the Hawaiian race was essential, as expressed in King Kalâkaua's motto "Ho`oulu Lahui" or "Increase the Race". This ma`i in honor of King Kalâkaua gives him the name Halala, meaning overly large
interesting.......hmmmmmm hawaii huh?.....Any thoughts?
It doesn't say Honolulu. The best that I can make out, with the help of Hawai'ian dictionaries, for the first word is Ho'oalu. Which would be "an exemplified type of taro"?
ETA: well, I was close, I think Jetschick beat me to the real answer.
As we look away, we peer further into the past. Can we find an image of ourselves via gravitational lensing?
Klalkis- I just went off what spoops typed because I had a hard time making out the letters in the cap. To blurry for my eyes. Are we sure on the spelling spoops?
if the spelling is right ..that meaning of "increase the race" is kinda creepy
i had originally thought it was an '"ho'oalu" as well but i didn't find any searches for that, when i typed it in, it gave me the "did you mean ho'oulu lahui" so i assumed it was that
think we can piece together the rest of it? it definitely ends with a "sincerely," and then theres a name, looks like the first and last names are about 4 or 5 letters long and i believe the initials are S. O.... The last name looks almost like Otare or Otane

I agree with you on the first name starting with an S. I blew it up, rotated it, skewed it and inverted the colors but that was all I could make out. I wish we had a better HD cap. Dang it!!!!

I tried it, too. Nothing. I have a feeling it doesn't mean anything. They probably just grabbed a bunch of papers for props and that one happened to wind up under Roger's skull. Heck, they're probably chuckling at the fact that we're trying to decipher it.
You're probably right, especially because of the Hawaiian words but ...
Besides I feel like I haven't had anything to ponder over in 2 weeks...Now if they would have given us the REST of Jack's tattoo, I might have had that to keep me busy

What rest? I doubt they'll go into detail about it as that IS Matthew Fox's tattoo in real life.
