Attacked by a swarm of bees yesterday.

Alain Delon has died! https://www.lefigaro.fr/cinema/alain-delon-la-legende-du-cinema-est-mort-20240818

Despite being in very good health, as you can clearly see from the photo, Hisako Shiroishi has died at 114.

Hello There and Welcome, or Welcome Back to those returning, to the fourth round of the Crazy Eight Dead Pool!  This pool is a lot like the Midsummer and Advent pools in that every entrant may choose only one pick, but the winner will be he/she/they who predicts the Eighth death, not the first, so folks with only 24/48 hours to live may not be the best choice here. Credit for this pool's creation goes to GuyFromFuture, I am merely the host.  The Official Rules: 1. Entrants will have 24 hours to submit an entry, declared in this thread, as opposed to by PM. 1 entry per person. 2. Entries open on 19th August 2024 at 00:00 BST. First come, first served. 3. No two players can pick the same person. 4a. Banned picks include death row inmates (unless sentenced to death after being picked), FFBI, people under the age of 18, and all of the usual no-go areas. Death row inmates, FFBI, people under the age of 18, etc. are eligible to enter as a participant, however. 4b. I am aware that some pools class supercentenarians as FFBI, because they are famous solely due to their age, but that is not the case in this pool, and so they are perfectly eligible to be picked. 5. The QO standards remain fairly low, as long as they are definitely dead, and an obituary, as opposed to a death notice or a social media post, has been published, the hit will be counted. The only exception to this rule is, like last time, legacy.com remains a non-QO source. 6. For legal reasons, killing your or others' picks to speed up the pace of the game or to win is not advised. 7a. Hit placement is determined by date of death, as opposed to date of death announcement. However, in the instance that two entries die on the day of the eighth death, whichever death is reported first shall be counted first. 7b. In the case that a specific date of death cannot be determined, the date said death is announced shall take its place. 7c. James C. Floyd Memorial Closing of a Loophole: If a date of death cannot be established, but it is clear that the person in question died before the start of the game, the pick is disqualified and will not count as one of the eight hits. If this is discovered within the first week of the competition, I will allow the player to choose a new candidate, but after this point no such opportunity will be available. If anyone has any suggestions for additions/amendments to the rules, please feel free to say so. The same goes for any questions, should they be prompted.

The entire World should be in mourning for 2 weeks with this horrible news, Maria Branyas is in my thoughts right now."

Looks like a dying Oompa Loompa.

At least he died without a prolonged period of suffering, said goodbye to the people that mattered and spent his final days in his beloved hometown. RIP Sven.

@TQR just giving you a shoutout/praise/thanks for running this game and all other KOS you have done. We share different music tastes but I appreciate you doing all this.

There it is. This marathon is over. The best UK No.1 hit of the 2010s is…King by Years & Years! Staggering, then, that you lot collectively decided to do things differently, opting instead to crown Somebody That I Used To Know, the artsy classic by Gotye, as the UK’s best chart topper from last decade. Featuring those wonky guitar samples, the dulcet tones of Kimbra and a melody from a nursery rhyme, how could one possibly arrive at a different conclusion? It has aged better than most, to be fair. And now it has won such a prestigious accolade as Kill or Save winner on Deathlist dot net, maybe Gotye and Kimbra can enjoy a well-deserved career relaunch. Here they are to play us out. Be sure to sing along with the fucking wall. Wonderful. If you’re that way inclined, I’d also suggest looking up the rest of Gotye’s internationally sucessful album Making Mirrors if you hadn’t already. Not all of it is brilliant, but all of it is interesting. Anyway, here’s how the grand final panned out for our top-25: Gotye ft. Kimbra — Somebody That I Used To Know OneRepublic — Counting Stars Harry Styles — Sign Of The Times Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne — Rather Be Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams — Get Lucky Years & Years — King Cee Lo Green — Forget You David Guetta ft. Sia — Titanium Lil Nas X — Old Town Road Ella Henderson — Ghost John Newman — Love Me Again Pitbull ft. Kesha — Timber Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg — California Gurls Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larson — Symphony Lady Gaga & Beyonce — Telephone Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars — Uptown Funk Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris — We Found Love Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa — One Kiss Lorde — Royals Owl City — Fireflies Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug — Havana Lewis Capaldi — Someone You Loved Pharell Williams — Happy Yolanda Be Cool Vs D Cup — We No Speak Americano Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper — Shallow And, as ever, here are the shittest 25 of the game: X Factor Finalists 2011 — Wishing On A Star Military Wives With Gareth Malone — Wherever You Are Helping Haiti — Everybody Hurts Cher Lloyd — Swagger Jagger X Factor Finalists 2010 — Heroes Joe McElderry — The Climb Robin Thicke ft. T.I. & Pharrell — Blurred Lines Gary Barlow ft. Commonwealth Band — Sing Psy — Gangnam Style The Script ft.

Gareth Malone’s All Star Choir — Wake Me Up Sam Smith — Writing’s On The Wall Ed Sheeran — Sing The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir — A Bridge Over You Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor — Marvin Gaye Artists For Grenfell — Bridge Over Troubled Water Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber — Despacito Ed Sheeran — Shape Of You LadBaby — I Love Sausage Rolls Tones And I — Dance Monkey LadBaby — We Built This City Lil Dicky ft. Chris Brown — Freaky Friday Proud of you all for getting rid of LadCunty as swiftly as you did. Well done guys. Now, prepare for a bit of whiplash: for the next game, we’re rewinding all the way back to, well, the start of the UK charts: the 1950s. Even if this might be outside your musical tastes/knowledge, I do hope you’ll all be brave enough to join in with the fun there. It might be an education. It’ll definitely be a good laugh.

Thank you @drol for giving me this opportunity, my friend. Silvio Santos was loved by everyone, even here in Brazil. He was a presenter who interacted with everyone without exception. He participated in jokes and wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself. He laughed at himself when things happened to him. Once, his pants fell down during a program, and as always, he was in a good mood laughing at the situation. He fell down trying to make jokes and laughed at himself, amusing everyone. His station didn't report on his death at first, while the others were on duty reporting it. I believe they weren't in a position to broadcast the news yet, and were showing cartoons while they waited for the emotion to pass a little. I had a lot of fun with his programs, with his good humor, his joy, his ability to make jokes to pass this joy on to everyone. It's impossible to watch any of his programs without forgetting about his problems and, at least in that moment, having a reason to smile. He even joked after his daughter was kidnapped, saying that his daughter gave him so much trouble that he almost asked the kidnappers to stay with her a little longer. 12 hours later, his house was invaded and he himself was held hostage. The state governor personally intervened and managed to get him released. It's also sad because he didn't have time to see the premiere of the film about his life, which will premiere on September 5th. I just hope it does justice to his rich story. I invite everyone to watch this film, to learn a little about his life. The story of this unforgettable character from our television, I don't know if it will be good, if it will be in keeping with his story, but I believe it will give us a chance to get to know him a little bit. He helped everyone on his show. I don't know how many people he helped financially on the shows. He would hand out money as if it were just anything, a chocolate, a little souvenir. I can say without fear of being wrong that he made a difference in the lives of at least 97% of Brazilians. This has been a difficult year for me due to the deaths of Brazilian people I admired and admired, such as Zagallo, Wilson Fittipaldi, Silvio Luiz, Antero Greco, and now Silvio Santos. I don't remember Silvio Santos ever having a long face or a bad mood, not even in the most difficult moments of his life.

From his Wikipedia page: Yeah, the lyrics would be the only reason it's not on constant radio rotation today.
