introducing The Milliliters

as you know, I'm pretty asinine when it comes to having a moniker to record under. This had led to a plethora of terrible band names, and this one representing me and my wife is no exception. The Milliliters (get it?!) proudly present two songs, one of which is an original song about one of the few things dumber than a name like "The Milliliters." hope you enjoy!

top 10 LOST mysteries that I'm pretty sure weren't answered

(but correct me if I'm wrong!)

I really enjoyed the LOST finale and feel pretty okay understanding the whole story, but I am still lost on a couple of points. Any help would be appreciated.

10. Why did the pregnant women from the Others all die, and why did Claire (and Sun, for that matter) do okay?

9. Was The Sickness just the Man in Black's power to influence people, and if so why were only certain people susceptible? Was it only that he made ridiculous promises that people believed? Or was The Sickness something else entirely?

8. What was up with the metaphysical Calvinball? People kept making up rules, but we never got to figure out how or why they could do so.

7. In the same vein, why couldn't Ben & Widmore kill each other?

6. Was there ever any significance to the characters of Nadia, Helen, Kelvin, Sun's father, Sawyer's baby, Sawyer's baby mama, or Christian Shepherd (besides the fact that he was in the alternate universe somehow)?

5. What's the deal with Eloise Hawking? Seriously.

4. How did the Dharma food drops happen?

3. What was the point of the Temple or the Statue, who built them, and what function did they serve?

2. Why was the Man in Black/Smoke Monster so arbitrary in who he killed or didn't kill? Eko survived a few encounters, but later got axed. It tried to get John Locke once, but failed, and throughout the seasons it has had many opportunities to kill various non-Candidates but simply didn't. Furthermore, considering

1. Most importantly, why on earth did Lapidus never get a flashback episode?
