I finally signed up to work on the Lost wiki, which I knew I was going to do eventually. Can you believe some people don't understand the significance of the number 108 in Buddhist folklore? Some people are just fucking dumb.

Too bad my Internet is slow as all fuck right now. Someone managed to beat me to the punch about DHARMA being an acronym.

I'm not totally into Lost, just kind of half pay attention to it. Care to explain further?

About which part? Lost is essentially full of mythology and mystery, slowly unraveling. I found a wiki online that tries to sort it out, and I've decided to work on it.

OK - so what is the anagram? And what does 108 mean? And where can I find the wiki?

Not anagram - acronym. They said flat out it wasn't an anagram for anything. Dunno what it stands for yet. 108, among other things, is the number of sins of mankind.

I'm just one of the dumb people who didn't know about the significance of the number 108 in Buddhist folklore. :)

And I thought it might have been told what DHARMA was an acronym for, but I guess not based on your reply above. We haven't watched last night's episode yet tho, so I don't venture to Lost sites 'til I'm caught up, hehe.

Clearly, I was being sarcastic. I don't figure that's common knowledge.
