It belonged in the Suicide thread but it was so juicy I posted as fast as possible LOL If I had to live with C​arrey I'd off myself too. "rekindling their romance" = shagging. SC​

Founder of modern Sweden, Gustav I -- 455 years ago Winslow Homer, the famous painter -- 105 years ago Casey Stengel (manager of the NY Yankees) -- 40 years ago Tony Curtis -- 5 years ago.

Good King Wenceslas was murdered by his brother Boleslav the Cruel 1080 years ago (935 AD) And our neighbours to th​e North need some props, as Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau died 15 years ago (2000) SC

Which would indicate that it isn't a problem and hasn't been. SMH SC​

The 19-year-old son of Eddie Montgomery, one-half of country duo Montgomery Gentry, died Sunday. SC​

George Blanda -- who scored more points than anyone in NFL history (helps that he played till he was 48!) -- 5 years ago SC ​

Gimme some of that old time religion! SC Pope Urban VII, 12 day papacy the shortest in history, died 425 yrs ago. Also the last Pope to have a beard (to date) St. Vincent de Paul 355 yrs ago and Pope Innocent VII -- 315 yrs ago

Beat me to Daniel Boone, RHP, but it was 195 years ago, not 95! Only other person I saw ​worth a mention was actor Richard Mulligan (15 years ago), and that barely. Did the show Soap ever make it to that side of the Pond? SC​

The second was James R Messenger.I can assure you that you did pick Tickle as she is on your entry on my masterlist which was copied and pasted the day you submitted your team.Yeah sure I will add him to your entry on the masterlist. Right you are! Well similarly I'm throwing Norman Lear's name into the fray, and to my knowledge he's fit as a fiddle, but older, and like Ali I would be miffed if he passed and I got nothing for it. So it remains a bit of a punishment for unwittingly putting a deceased person's name on my list. SC

You got the wrong link mate.

1. Zsa Zsa Gabor -- I want the few points 2. Martin Crowe 3. Denis Healey 4. Olivia De Havilland Second, names from my DP teams: 5. Henry McCullough 6. "Superstar" Billy Graham 7. James R. Messenger 8. Oliver Sacks 9. Bart Starr 10. Magomed Abdusalamov Third, real fucking old people so I take advantage of scoring rules (hate the game not the playya): 11. Susannah Mushatt Jones (**JOKER**) playing the odds 12. Emma Moran Fourth, people chosen by other teams in my DP that I didn't pick but like: 13. Steve Gleason 14. President James Earl Carter, Jr. 15. Dilip Kumar 16. Joe Jackson (father of the Jacksons) 17. Rob Ford 18. Carol Channing 19. Fats Domino Fifth, a bunch of folks you people (and I) have so graciously shared info on here on the DL site: (sadly I haven't been keeping track all along) 20. Howard Marks 21. Amy Watts (Muhammad Ali)​ 22. John Schlegel 23. Bob Bennett 24. Keith Farnham 25. Mark Farren 26. Michel Delpech 27. Sumner Redstone 28. Gerald Kaufman 29. Nuon Chea 30. Grace Lee Boggs 31.

Andre Guelfi 46. Ken Kavanagh 47. Kevin Turner (NFL) 48. Eileen Fenton 49. Phyllis Tickle (she may not obit, but she will die. Let's take a chance) 50. Jack Van Impe SirC ​---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Shaun: Seems I had TWO people who were already dead on my list but Ms Watts is the only one I see, who am I missing? Also -- Sir Creep didn't even remember selecting Ms. Tickle, but there it is in black--well red--and white!!​​ I wasn't going to replace Ms. Watts as punishment, but that seems remiss. If I may, I'd like to go WAYYY off the board and select as a replacement Mr. Muhammad Ali. I'd hate for him to pass away in the coming months and me get nothing for him altogether. I don't think he will perish any time soon so it remains a bit of a punishment for choosing a dead person in Ms. Watts. SC​

Not much of an endorsement for Southern comfort foods... Don't get much more comfortable than dead.

Six cows were killed and two cattle traders injured as a cattle-laden truck fell into a ditch at Bhuyangati on the Dhaka-Bogra Highway in Raipur upazila of Sirajganj district on Monday afternoon. SC

A 10-METRE mistake by organisers nearly killed French free diving champion Guillaume Néry as he dived much deeper than expected. His guide line on the dive off Cyprus had been set to 139metres rather than the 129m world record depth he was aiming for and he blacked out and nearly drowned as he came to the surface. SC Here's a pretty bad-ass video of one of his more successful dives. Enjoy!

Not sure how the U.K. made out yesterday when the asteroid hit the earth (as predicted), but here in Texas where I am it really wasn't that bad. SC (Edit: BUT WAIT! "There will still be a very huge chunk of this asteroid that will hit (most likely in the Atlantic Ocean). They believe this is the fulfillment of the 6th seal of Revelation that starts the “Day of the Lord”, the final day of Daniel’s 70th week, which will last for one year." Maybe THAT was the 'earthquake' and tsunami warnings a few days ago!!! IT WAS A TRUE PROPHECY!! The 6th Seal came a few days EARLY, that's all!) ​

Not exactly sure where to put this....but here is close enough. Connoisseurs of Southern comfort foods are mourning the death of the woman who ran Leatha's Bar-B-Que Inn here. Bonnie Jackson, 57, died Tuesday of a massive heart attack, a family member said. Leatha’s was featured on an episode of Man Food Fire on the Cooking Channel for the amazing ribs, and it is one of the stops on the Mississippi Culinary Trail on VisitMississippi.org.​ SC

Or it could be a 6-month affair. It's all in good fun, mates. Whatever you decide, I'm in. SC​

ON September 25, it would be RUDE to forget Emily Post (55 years), as well as John Bonham (35 years) and Don Adams of Get Smart fame (10 years ago) SC

No kidding. Lesson learned, no one cares about authors of religious material. Jeesh. Lots of links to religious websites but the only semi-authentic journalistic link comes from Huffington Post: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5601e9e7e4b0fde8b0d05acb SC
