One character was being considered to "sleep with the fishes," so in a dream sequence, he appeared as a talking fish head at a sidewalk market. This led to a joke later on when the dreamer encountered a Big Mouth Billy Bass toy and had disturbing flashbacks.

I can't believe they added that fish head. The people who made this were very serious Sopranos fans.

The news that Princeton's infamous ESP research lab is soon to close (link) is both heartening and a little disappointing. On one hand, if there's anything at all to ESP, then skeptics should have no objection to private donations funding some bonafide scientific research into it – no harm done except for a hint of legitimacy.

Not all mobile phones mix a qwerty keypad with their main numerical keypad, but I have an old Blackberry that does. That makes me especially frustrated by companies that only provide a letter-based phone number without showing a numerical alternative (800-LIKE-THIS). I just went to cancel Nutrisystem, and of course they require you to call a counselor rather than just cancel online, and the only number they give is 888-459-THIN. Go »
