Henry Gale from Minnesota

After tonight's episode I felt the need to do a little research on Henry Gale. What I was really looking for was whether or not this was an anagram just like Ethan Rom was (Other Man). What I found surprised me.
  • Henry Gale is from Minnesota. Take "Henry Gale Minnesota" and rearrange the letters to get "see an other man lying".
  • Henry Gale is also the name of Dorothy's Uncle in the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy was supposed to go home on a hot air balloon, but the wizard escaped in it instead.
  • The balloon that he was describing was apparently Steve Fossett's balloon called the Spirit of Freedom, which was used to make a trip around the world that began and ended in Australia.
  • The sponsor for the Spirit of Freedom was Bud Light. The mascot for Budweiser is a frog. Sawyer hunted and killed the frog in same episode as Henry Gale's appearance.
