Wait, I don't get it...did you make the fake edit on Wikipedia about Laemmle or? Yeah, that was me. You realize how offensive this is, don't you? Idiot. How is it offensive to vandalise wiki pages? 1. Millions of people, including myself, are making huge efforts of trying to create the world's largest online Encyclopedia. The last thing we need is to waste energy on those who attempt to destroy our goal. 2. Imagine if someone came up to you and said that your parents are dead, only to later say that he was only joking. Would you find it amusing? 3. How old are you? 1. Oh, I'm so sorry I caused you the trouble of reverting an edit, it must have took all of two seconds. 2. I'm pretty sure I'd know if my parents were dead before users of wikipedia and I doubt these celebrities children are using wikipedia to determine the stiff or still breathing status of their parents. 3. I do not understand how my age is relevant. I didn't do any reverting personally, but whatever. Let's call it a truce, shall we? After all, the real battle is fought on the DDP! But remember, if you mess with Carla Laemmle, she's prepared to fight with her boxing gloves. Well I could do with her sticking around until new year at least .

Yeah, just hope the NSA aren't looking to closely.

Because they would clash with your IQ. You're hilarious. I just don't understand how someone with terminal cancer who turns 18 on the 2nd January isn't allowed but someone who turns 18 on the 31st December is? I can understand the sensitivity towards the issue of predicting a child's death but this seems arbitrary and limiting. My final question; is a theme team of convicted/on trial famous sex offenders allowed? Of course but I'm already working on one and mine will be more interesting so don't waste your time. I'll have to find a new theme then, although I expect a very interesting list from you.

It's the opposite, you're aiming for people who'll last until the end of the year rather than people who will croak in the first week, so you should be picking different people. For mpfc it makes sense to pick the 3 months to live brigade for this it doesn't. Absolutely, the whole point here is that they only score if they die, and assuming they die, they get a point for every day of 2014 that they lived. So Mandela would be a big hitter this year, Biggs a non-event (probably), I may well give this a go and line up some vulnerable types famed for general coffin dodging - Gazza, Clive James etc. Vulnerable coffin dodgers sounds like a decent tactic.

Why can't my picks be under 18?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25314214 Another death for the 2013 pile, is that 208 were at now?

http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-25295373 Obviously we can't pick him but are there any terrorists due to stand trial in december or the new year with a high likelihood of death penalties for their crimes?

Well one of them was going to die. Shame it wasn't one of my edits.

As my children get older and take interest in what Daddy's looking at on the laptop, can I really feel comfortable about some content of what I'm reading here? With the greatest respect looking at a site that speculates on people's deaths while your children are in the room is silly and it's your responsibility to check the site at work or when they aren't around. It's not a family forum, nor should it be.

Blimey. Can't believe that little trick caught you guys ought. I was aiming to get a reaction from another forum but thought I'd catch you guys in the cross fire. All in fun of course.

In addition to this if the BBC reports a death under their subject-specific section, i.e a boxers death is reported in boxing is that counted or does it have to be in the BBC's news section?

And do you care?

Quite a left field sympathy death.

Just realised my entire centerians list will be borderline/probably not on the obits. Damn there still famous, why do they need an obit as well?

So I've got my first two theme teams sorted (Famous Centenarians and Heads of State)! Just one more to sort.

Do you have to live in Derby to enter?

Vera Lynn,

The Attenborough brothers, there ancient now...

I've just got a feeling Zsa Zsa Gabor will make the centenary. I mean she's hung on this long already.

Is he still alive? I thought he was dead, bloody hell.
