I guess it shows how 'aware' the outside world are of them - and slightly helps explain their 'fame' which has been re-highlighted in certain episodes (Kate's courtroom, Jack at the chemist). It's also interesting because many, I believe, would consider someone like Hurley to be VERY supertituous - however his supertition was created by the island..or the numbers (one in the same thing, perhaps). So i guess they're also suggesting that some people's supertition is very real..or rather the
reason for their supertitious behaviour is very understandable. The outside world (at various points) view Hugo as crazy..yet we know he's not. I just find it interesting how the creators use certain devices to tell a story or to highlight certain aspects of their thinking.
Good point - we've had quite a few 'rabbit' reference throught Lost haven't we - Jack's first episode, Mile's rabbit foot key ring, Alex gutting the rabbit, Ben's numerous rabbit associations.

Im not superstitious at all, so thats probably why I think he might know more. I am one of those people who believe that you make your own luck. No such thing as bad luck as far as I am concerned.

Interesting - I believe in luck but I am certainly someone who also believes in fate. Some things, in my view, cannot be changed..but I also believe that in between the 'stepping stones' of 'fate', we can make our own luck. Although my usage of the word luck can be used interchangeably with the word 'destiny'.
I guess I believe in many things, like our friend Locke.
As for bad luck, I do believe there is such a thing - although i don't necessarily invest my beleif in it. I have issues with Karma (often believed to be an opponent of 'luck')..whilst I subscribe to the notion, I don't believe that it is directly related to the individual..rather the sum of all individuals.
Bit of a tangent there, but it's an interesting thing you raised.
