While in the sailboat, Sayid, Sun and Jin see a single, four-toed foot — ostensibly from a colossal statue that was never finished or has since crumbled or been destroyed.
- Sayid comments: "I don't know what is more disquieting; the fact that the rest of the statue is missing or that it has four toes."
Theories
- The statue may be in reference to a story "Headlong Hall" by Thomas Love Peacock.
- The statue may have been from the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
- "To celebrate their victory and freedom, the Rhodians decided to build a giant statue of their patron god Helios. They melted down bronze from the many war machines Demetrius left behind for the exterior of the figure and the super siege tower became the scaffolding for the project. According to Pliny, a historian who lived several centuries after the Colossus was built, construction took 12 years. Other historians place the start of the work in 304 B.C."
- The statue may be a reference to The Simpsons. When Homer mets God in a dream, He has sandals and only four toes.
- The number of toes also incorporates one of the numbers (4).
- There is an article here where the last 2 or 3 entries talk about Bigfoot only having 4 toes. The website is bermuda-triangle.org - isn't one of the bermuda triangle theories that electromagnetism makes people and boats vanish?
