Hurley buys a shih-tzu shirt

Hurley grabs some money from Sayid's wallet so he can buy a new shirt. In Sayid's wallet, you can also see some Euros (I think). When Hurley gets inside the convenience store he sees a rack of t-shirts, the first of which says "I heart my Wirehaired." The dog looks similar to Jack Bender's dog Lulu who was featured in the painting in Jacob's cabin. Hurley settles on the "I heart my Shih-tzu" though. The girl at the counter recognizes him while a clip of him on Action 8 News is on behind her. She sees Sayid, but fortunately thinks he is just wasted. Hurley rushes out of the store when she asks him to buy a lottery ticket.

Ben's (or should I say Dean Moriarty's) passports and money

Sayid finds a lot of foreign currency and a number of passports in Ben's secret room.

The currency that stands out is an English 20 pound note that has Michael Faraday on it (an English chemist and physicist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry). This particular bill is no longer in circulation. It was used between 1991 and 2001.

The passports include ones from Brazil, New Zealand, Japan and Switzerland. In Switzerland, Ben goes by the name Dean Moriarty (a character from the Jack Kerouac novel On the Road).
