The Island is a ____?

  What is the island? Years ago, the writers had teased us and hinted that it might not in actuality be an island. Things got more exciting a few weeks ago when Kristin of Eonline told us that the island could be described by a 4 letter word with no A's and no E's After running a word find program for Scrabble players, I discovered that there were over 1500 such words in the English language. One word stood out immediately and I knew the answer. The island is a... HOOT aka something or someone uproariously funny or absurd. Amazingly, this theory was bolstered when Kristin later added that the word contained the letter O.

  Of course, it could be another word entirely. Here are a few words to think about: moon, door, town, soul, bomb, show (like The Truman Show?), loop, buoy, book, undo... and here's a very interesting and somewhat obscure word: odyl: a hypothetical force formerly held to pervade all nature and to manifest itself in magnetism, mesmerism, chemical action, etc. Is the island a power that permeates the whole of nature?

  If I had to guess, I'd say that it's a door that leads to an alternate reality.

  UPDATE 23MAR2010: THE ISLAND IS LIKE A CORK! (according to Jacob - keeping evil, malevolence, etc. from spreading.)
