In Chile earthquakes usually happen, the last dangerous I lived was 2010 Earthquake (8.8) Was really scary but the chilean constructions are resistant almost all time

March 7 2023 will be a momentous day. That day will be the day New Order's "Blue Monday" will be 40 years old! Goes to show this track was way ahead of its time. It still gives me goosebumps and still rules the dance floor. That day is also infamous for the release in 1985 of the USA for Africa single "We Are The World", which we clearly aren't. Some of those musicians are already pushing up daisies like Michael Jackson and the Pointer Sisters. Others are very much alive or hanging on. Roll call! Bold Already fallen.

Ron Roddan British Athletics coach has died.

Sergey Tereshchenko has died aged 71. Obit (In Russian).

Look on the bright side - you are currently in the lead. If no-one else dies for the rest of the year, you will be champion. (Putting a reminder here to myself for the next update that Burt Bacharach was a hit for 3 teams)

Shirley Temple died on this day 9 years ago, aged 85. - Temple was arguably the most successful child star of the 1930s. She retired from film in 1950, when she was 22 years old- but would eventually return to acting on television during the 1960s. - During the height of her popularity, detractors claimed that she was actually a 30-year old with dwarfism, that she either wore a wig or was not naturally blonde, and that she had all of her adult teeth, which were filed to look like baby teeth. - Temple ran as an independent candidate in the 1967 special election to fill California's 11th congressional seat. She received 3.5% of the vote. - Temple became a diplomat when Henry Kissinger overheard her talking about her knowledge of South West Africa (modern-day Namibia) when the two were at a party. - As Chief of Protocol of the United States (the first female one, too), she was responsible for the arrangement of Jimmy Carter's inaugural ball. - Temple was a member of the board of directors for several prominent companies, including Bank of America, UNESCO, and Disney. - Temple was not a fan of the non-alcoholic cocktail named after her, finding its taste too sweet. - Temple was a chronic smoker, but did not do it in public as she did not want to set a bad example for her fans. She died from COPD.

I don’t think we should allow this vote. Reason being this has the identical IP address as Sir Creep. If you can prove your not creep, we’ll allow the vote. Over to you sc/ evangelist.

He looks like Lou Reed in a decrompression chamber.

British actor Tom Hiddleston celebrates his 42nd birthday. American singer songwriter Carole King celebrates turning 81 today.

You're the first deathlister I've seen whose profile is a self-portrait.

Greenspan

My joker Ivan Silayev has died. A bit too early.

Madonna in 2025

We have a leader after six hits @DoorSlammer gets a second hit and moves into the lead

She has gotten a couple of mentions on tomorrow’s front pages which means she certainly had the status to be included. Maybe next year the list will include Sophia Loren?(Who as a mistress of Cary Grant would provide a connection to the person’s whose death trigged the list.)

Strange. A Twitter account named "Anti WEF" seems so reliable for news about the WEF.

Tell me theres a mini Schwab xD
