Hacking through said book, and Im discovering a few interesting little bits of trivia.

The original script for the Stringer Bell death scene had Omar flopping it out a taking a piss on his dead body, supposedly to signify his disregard for Bell. The actors expressed disatisfaction which George Pellecanos agreed with; it was subsequently rewritten as we saw it.

Also, apparently Michael K. Williams cannot whistle! A middle aged white female sound engineer whistled "The Farmer in the Dell" and it was dubbed in throughout the series run.

There's plenty more tidbits and trivia in the book, when I have a bit more time I'll go through a few more perhaps.
