Hanso Foundation's 877-HANSORG: What's it say?
Posted May 3rd 2006 11:55PM by Keith McDuffee
Filed under: ABC, Lost

So, like me you may have tried for hours to get through to the phone number shown during a fake commercial toward the end of tonight's episode of
Lost. The commercial featured the Hanso Foundation, then displayed a phone number to call: 877-HANSORG. Well, I finally got though and recorded what happens if you follow the general information extension (1), though there are several others you can follow.
Have a listen for yourself.

UPDATE: The recording above has
changed!]

The UK got a similiar advert to coincide with the premier of season two on Channel 4. A hotline phone number was also provided. Go to www.thetailsection.com to check them all out.
Hints of 'Geronimo Jackson' and their album 'Macna Carta' (not Magna) are also spread throughout the different extensions. One of which features a hysterical woman who says to use the password "Breaking Strain" on the Hanso website. Using it on the Joop section (at the "Send a message" part) takes you to a strange section involving having to connect circles (cells perhaps?), doing so allows you to read several documents which make mention of some form of viral outbreak.
Also, when you enter a name to sign up for the newsletter, things go a bit glitchy, and typing in the aforementioned password causes a command line to appear, alluding to future updates etc.

The "strange language" that you hear in this message is Danish. I'm swedish but I understand most of it, it is a report of the weather and then they just present some music. If you want a translation word by word, then it is surely better if a Dane can do it.

Well seeing as i am a dane i would be glad to translate it for you!! :)
"Thank you for tuneing in, this was 10 unintertupted songs in a row. The weather in Copenhagen today are clear with a forcast of cloudy weather tommorow, which will go on all weekend. The temperature at the moment is 12 degrees. That was all from me tonight, but stay tuned for the news, and after that classic rock from the 60's and 70's including an exclusive playing of Geronimo Jackson's first complete album "Macna Carta", right after a word from our sponsers"
At least thats what i got out of it.. The temperature is in celsius i think becaus it would fit pretty good with the weather in Copenhagen.. To me it sounds like a radio station!

I tried to sign up for the newsletter at www.thehansofoundation.org. It asks for a username and then asks you to type a password. If you type "breaking strain" you get a cryptic dharma message and "persephone" tells you that you are now logged in to receive updates. The password came from dialing 877-Hanso and listening to the prompts. One of the prompts is a crazy lady talking about the password is "breaking strain"

Here is what I have so far
After logging in for the newsletter I went back to joops corner. Typed in hello (I don't think it matters) I was then directed to a picture or x-ray of a brain keep watching eventually two circles appear click on them and then two more ect ect. until finally a red circle appears click on it and it reveals a letter from the GWC. Also in active projects go to worldwide wellness click on map and then in the map click off the coast of S America for a hidden location there is a coded message and a bunch of numbers first set is 13/9/19/19/9/14/7 second set is 15/18/7/1/14/19 any help or other clues appreciated.

The numbers on the gibberish you see in the hidden map location (bermuda triangle area) is a simple numeric cypher. A=1 B=2 C=3, etc. When you put this with the numbers it spell "missing organs"

If you try to put your "username" in the Persephone password box a second time a message appers like the the first one that says:
Welcome back!
No new messages
bye, bye
...
Then Joop appears like on his webcam but he turns to "attack" you.

Does anyone else notice the "picture" over top of Joop in the webcam. I think there have been two pictures actually but not sure. It seems like it's the outline of someone's head and shoulders but you can't make out any physical features. Seems interesting...

Click on the word obey and you will go to a different site. It takes ages to load, but after you've clicked on the tv like pictures several times a TV appears with code: heir apparent, you then click below and it takes you back to the biogs.

Hi all back again i managed to click on the clock that changes to OB:EY before it changed back this time after clicking on it you are presented with a circle of about 7 t.v screens if you keep rapid clicking the one at the very top it will turn on then move round do this with all of them and you will eventually come to a screen that says "subliminal message unlocked" i cant figure out what to do with the message though it doesnt seem to go anywhere or be a password to anything either the message is - Heir Apparent
Enjoy Guys.

Can anyone tell me if the woman pictured and listed as a volunteer teacher in Rawanda in the "World Wide Wellness and Prevention Development Program" section under the Active Projects is the same woman from the tail section of the plane that was abducted by the others while treking through the forest with Michael and Swayer and Jin on the hike back to the survivor's beach, in the episode where Shannon was shot and killed by Ana Lucia?
