The confusion came because the journalists asked "Is she the oldest?" and they responded "There's nun older".

Happy thanksgiving DS (and to other American posters)

Happy Thanksgiving, though round noon Sir C will begin driving 840 miles to work....great holiday!

So which deaths right now would change the standings? Jose Jose, Fernando Ricksen or Marieke Vervoot (lol) would give BoB the lead. Tiffany Youngs or late pass obits for Cynthia Heimel or Ian Toothill would do for TJS. Greg Gilbert would give it to To Kill A Gabor Sister. I think that's it excluding unnatural deaths or Christmas Day carkings?

Waiting for Doctor Who to start. Oh wait, was that the day after? It's all jumbled up in my memory because my Granny died that weekend as well.

Me. I knew.

Would rather have less points for a hit than personally being a hit though...

The big discrepancy is because Pre Open Era the best male player's might have only played Wimbledon 2-3 times before going Pro(ie ineligable to play in Slams), thus having a larger pool of former winners.Whereas their weren't as many options available for the women so Margaret Court,BJK,Maria Bueno etc were still competing at 3 or 4 of the Slams year in year out, even before the Open Era. You would have had a lot more female Slams winner's if say Margaret Court went Pro after 2 Australian Open win's and didn't play a Slam again until 68.

Stu Ungar flopped for good today in 1998

It's a thought though, contrary to the "popular", there must have been folk out there for whom Kennedy's death was overshadowed by finding out about CS Lewis rather than vice versa. Like how my mum is adamant Farah Fawcett overshadowed any 80s singers who might have died on the same day.

My mind just turned to mush. So people who quit playing this DP....are playing this DP?

You will be saved by the non entry of TUM and Mad Hatter - happy Thanksgiving Joey!

Okay, since I have finished setting up the spreadsheet for the Crowdsource list, and that I’m a nice guy and is feeling thankful at the moment, I’ve decided to move the opening of accepting submissions a few hours earlier than planned. By which I mean that I am accepting submissions for the Crowdsource List now.

Oh, looks like I’m the one who fucked up here as I’m the one who put Lima the highest. Oh well...

Any 100+ year old ever died from a bee sting? Asking for a friend

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it and Happy Thursday to all who don't.

Bill Bixby wasn't incredible anymore after this day 25 years ago, aged 59.

Just what the hell are you doing, markb4

You guys are nowhere even close. Cain was killed at the age of 730, at the hands of his great,great grandson Lamech. Unfortunately, no QO, because Genesis doesn't qualify I don't think.

Good grief. I've printed this out and given it to my mum to take to her next Women's Institute meeting. She was only saying the other day that topics of conversation there had become a bit stale.

Excelsior! Numerous teams's Spidey-senses were not tingling for Stan Lee, meaning this result is not fantastic for them.

Welp, looks like I’m a hit in Alt Obits now.
