Ever wonder how they would train the polar bears to only go half way around?

Or what if the polar bears were trained to go both ways, or both ways halfways?

Looking at Dialed's "picture," it's clear that the polar bears pushed the wheel one way, turned around and pushed it back the other way.
Geez. Why couldn't I see that before. Anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG!!! :op

Originally, the bears took turns. That way Dharma would only have to train Right-Turning Bears and Left-Turning Bears. It had the extra benefit, that when
the bears appeared in the desert, they could only walk in a circle until they died. Keeps civilization from being inundated with Dharma-collared polar bears.
Bad PR.
Things changed, though, when the Right-Turning Bears, having been called on by Dharma more often, began to be picked on by the Left-Turning Bears. "Don't get comfortable!" "I bet you wish you were a Left-Turning Bear like us!" "And that's my bunk too, you sleep on the floor, n00b!" The situation deteriorated into civil war, with one memorable appearance in an old Star Trek episode ("The difference is obvious. He turns to the right."). Things finally got resolved when a strange little Dharma scientist, Sylvester McMonkey McBean, showed up with a machine that actually created a mirror-image of the entering polar bear, turning Right-Turners into Left-Turners, and vice versa. And the rest is mystery. |

If only the polar bears had stars upon thars. They'd be so much cuter.

It strikes me that the donkey wheel is not what the thing actually is. Is there anything like that on a ship, oh let's say to raise an anchor on a ship?
Or maybe to crank sails up and down on a ship? Maybe a ship like the Black Rock? It's hard to imagine that the crew of the Black Rock had anyone that
could fathom the depths of wormholes and the qualities of the island unless there was a genius scientist on-board. The alternatives are that that whole set-up
was built by the ancient civilization or the Dharma Initiative. But that's a hexagonal wheel design and had it been Dharma I would expect an octogonal
shape.
------------------------------------- Duh, it's called a ship's capstan. It looks like generally you put sticks into them when you want to turn them and I'm not sure if any would be made with turning spokes permanently attached to them.

Why does that drawing show MEN turning it instead of polar bears??? Oh, the inhumanity of it all! |

Maybe they had a hard time teaching polar bears to jump over the ropes.

Nah, could be she just slipped up because that's the name of the character she played on a soap opera not too long ago.

I agree Aslans. Would she even know now if she was Ben's Annie? Seems like that's the sort of thing the writers would want to keep under wraps until
the last possible moment.
ETA: Ooo, 11111!
