What makes you say this? A zygote is an embryo at the one-cell stage, immediately after fertilization and before the first cell division. Cells in embryos of most species cleave by binary fission and don't have little buds like that (At least not in any species that I am aware of). To me it looks more like a budding yeast cell (see figure B).
And my spec is that in 748L Mittlewerk is training Dharma recruits on how to push the button: "Know it by heart. Don't waver!" Too early to say for sure though.
Looks like a zygote to me.

that means someone isn't sharing.... :'(
My observation so far is that whoever enters the clip first gets a point. So if eight different people are on the board, people have been sharing

I think Dizzy posted that when our group only knew of five- the three from Lost Ninja hadn't hit the mainstream yet. There was like a ten minute window.

It'll be great when, at the end of the video, Rachel bumps into something inside her cardboard box and Mittelwerk turns around sharply and proclaims, "Huh!? What was that?" And a giant ! appears over his head.
Yes.
A man can dream.

And... at that point Rachel will get a quest to go to Stormwind City... or...?
(Sorry, I... really had to make a WoW reference there)
But see... if she does that, there's no way she'd be around to put this site up, let alone get to Comic-Con as quick as she did. So I'm willing to bet that she got out with no problems.

The channel 4 blog has a total of 9 codes listed in the latest entry, just in case you missed some.

I wonder why there is static over the voiced comment about the number of years on fragment xigz2y10s2?
He mentions "1962", then "only (static) years ago".
The dharma film fragment ohge has '©1975 The Hanso Foundation' on it, so surely that means the word masked by the static is "thirteen", right?

No kidding. I went from exuberance to dejection all in the few milliseconds it took him to say that in that clip.

I think that static should say "only 13 years ago" since the vid is marked 1975 and he says 1962.
Also, anyone else notice that the favicon for hansoexposed.com looks like a glyph? I'm not sure how, but, can we enlarge that image?
