LOST - 4 8 15 16 23 42

After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of a mysterious creature stalking the jungle, as well as a polar bear, a marooned and possibly crazy French woman, a mystical boar, a mysterious group known only as "The Others," a ship called The Black Rock and... a hatch.

One recurring topic in the series has been a set of (extremely unlucky) numbers. They have been tied to the lottery (okay that was lucky, but had a curse attached) Multiple deaths, a fire, a ship wreck, a plane crash(?), and a hatch... Leaving us with the question: What is the significance of the recurring set of numbers?

MagisterZ at has an interesting theory (POISON TEST ETA?): The Numbers as Morse Code...
