on the back of the rabbit?

It's one of the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, if that's what you mean?

well its one of the numbers so im guessing yes. They really do love bringing up those numbers

my guess is Dahrma could have used it for experiments

forgot about the Valenzetti Equation could be that either.

The numbers are used very often throughout the course of the show, 8 of course is one of them. As to significance we'll have to wait and see what those darn numbers mean!!

8 also traditionally represents infinity

:confused: But it could be number "groups" for breeding purposes...as in group #8 was given this serum......meaning Ben could have killed the rabbit because #8 group's test were a failure. What I'm trying to say is that the #'s done have to be single animals.

It's another Stephen King reference. In On Writing he used the image of a bunny in a cage with an 8 painted on it (the bunny) as part of a writing exercise.

ETA: Nevermind, I see that we have numerous threads on that topic, now. :)
Nice connection. There is a very good discussion about that in this thread:

Ummmm, if it is turned sideways. But the person a few comments above had it right. The number 8 is one of the core values of the Valenzetti Equation.


P.S. On a side note, Ohio State would lose to Texas if they played again.
