And isn't he the exact opposite of our friend Desmond? Who I thought was the devil, but now I'm wondering if he thinks he is in training to be an astronaut?
Now see I thought Desmond was Jesus after the whole, touching Jack then Jack touches future Mrs. Jack and lo she is heal-ed. Then I was mocked mercilessly for said theory so I changed it slightly to St. Andrew instead, as apparently he made it as far as the British Isles so hey, it could happen.
I don't watch Lost, but that combination of coordinates is a little naive (did I mention I haven't seen the show?).
Coordinates have positive and negative values and a number of different ways of displaying them (lat/lon, decimal degrees, etc.).
It would seem more plausible to me that the coordinates would be one of the four combinations (lat/lon format): +/- 4.8.15 lat +/- 16.23.42 lon
This completely ignores datum and ephemeris, but those generally don't have major impacts on the positioning and I wouldn't expect a TV producer to have the faintest idea of what they are/mean, anyway.

Still. I think it's a good one. But I want the numbers to have more meaning than that, too! :)
