If you view the source code of the OGR Recruitment Information email, or the linked email web page, there are some very strange hidden lines of code:

Mystery Tales #40 Comic from Lost episode 'Cabin Fever'A Google search for "March has 32 days", leads to MysteryTales40.com, a website devoted to the comic of the same name - which was shown in the LOST episode Cabin Fever. They supposedly* purchased the comic on eBay, and scanned in all the pages.


Of particular interest is the final story from the Mystery Tales #40 comic titled "March has 32 days"! The story is about a bridge inspector, John Billings, who decides to skip a final bridge inspection over his seeing his wife off at the airport. When the bridge later collapses, he relives the same day, and gets the opportunity to save the bridge. His Day Break causes March to have 32 days, much to the dismay of a group of scientists.
