I'm new to this whole bulletin board/network thing, and I still haven't seen FWWM,
but when I found this net, I couldn't resist reading even the spoilers.  After
looking thru Coop's autobiography, I noticed something that may or may not be
related to the question of the ring and its significance.
Taken from the book:
Coop's mother died when he was 15(?).  Prior to that he spoke to her about dreams 
he had been having of a "man who [he] had never seen who was trying to break into
[his] room.  He kept calling [him] and said that he wanted [him].  He then 
screamed and after a moment it turned into a kind of roar as if he were some kind
of animal" (25).  His mom said that she had had the dream too, and that he must
never let the man in.
    -Later, she told Coop she was having trouble keeping him out.
    -Then, after she died, she came to Coop in a dream, looking younger than when
he knew her.  He couldn't hear what she was saying, but when he woke up he found 
a ring in his hand.  Locked it in his desk, but found it fit on his pinky finger
perfectly.
    -He also found a picture of his mom wearing the ring as a teenager.  His dad
said she stopped wearing it after they were married, and that it had been her 
fathers and was given to her after his death. (44-45 if you feel the need to look 
it up.)

Does anyone have any ideas whether this is related to the ring in FWWM that was
being discussed in various spoilers on this net?  If so, then does this mean that
1. BOB was involved in Coop's mom's death, 2.  wearing the ring has something to
do with being killed by BOB,  3.  Since Coop tried on the ring (to know that it 
fit his pinky finger perfectly), is he going to die too, making the last episode
of the series both more understandable and more depressing,  4.  Does BOB perhaps
choose victims hereditarily (Coop, his mom, perhaps her father;  Laura, Leland).

Any comments on any of this are welcome over the net or by email (abbe@athena.mit.
edu).  Abbe Cohen
