Yeah, Bobby on the boat was saying how you probably don't even hear it or know it when it happens.

I think the point of the ending is that you don't know what happened. I'm pretty sure they just want people to speculate and create some buzz, and I think they were pretty successful on that front despite how much some people hated the ending. But I agree with the idea that whether or not Tony did or didn't get shot, that the last scene sort of puts you in Tony's shoes; every person everywhere looks suspicious and you're wondering "IS THAT GUY A HIRED GUN? IS HE A COP/FBI?". Just the level of paranoia is incredible, even when you're trying to relax, just eating in a greasey spoon diner with your family. I think the end of the show just sort of says THIS IS TONY'S LIFE, and this is all it can ever be. It goes on and on and on until one day it all just goes black.

Do you think one of you can knit a cubicle cozy for my cubicle?

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb':

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," [Edward] Hammond[, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project] said after reviwing the documents.

"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explained Hammond.

I dunno, clearly she's obsessed with knitting, and her name is also Alison. Maybe it's just a matter of time.

okay... here's some perspective...

lest you all be concerned that my particular fibre addiction is out of control, at least i'm not knitting a house!

i'm not feelin' the Tony shot theory. I'm leaning more towards the Journey explanation - the song gets cut off before the line, "it goes on and on and on and on"

every day shit just keeps going on, Tony's still depressed, regular shit builds up and it's silly for the audience to expect this big movie mob blow out, when really throughout the series he was supposed to portray the every man (in a sense)

the real death scene in that episode was when he confronted Junior, and all his memories were wiped out.

but yeah that was admittedly a pretty powerful way to end the series. as was foreshadowed, "You don't hear it when it happens."

please explain to me why, when it's so bloody important to our careers on campus, does WebMail continually fail to function?

This whole log in three times to actually get to my inbox is driving me CRAZY!

Best of luck to the Polaris team from the U of A's Comp Sci department in July, when they pit their Texas Hold'em AI against a pair of professionals in Vancouver. I can't wait to find out how they do.

meadow can't parallel park worth shit. That's what I got out of the ending.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Damnit Par, now when I'm indecisive I'll end up with something I don't want. Not something I'll want.

On another note, can anyone please explain to me just what the fuck happened at the end of the Sopranos? Did he get shot? Is that why Tony's face went blank? Or was he just remembering all the good times as his choice in music suggests? I find the ending left me empty. I almost wanted him to get shot...
