    The 9Th Death Of 2016

    I went to random.org and asked for a number between 1 and 50. It gave me 16. Therefore Prince Philip must be next.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    I'll have to check, but I suppose she's 25th or less in the line of succession to the Swedish throne. That would make her a good pick for HPDP. EDIT: By my calculations, she is 36th. Oh well.

    Hmm, maybe next year, I should put him back on my long list. Why was he originally on your long list?

    MHDP

    The longer MH is away, the lesser our enthusiasm to search for obits. I wonder if it's a social experiment

    Shimon Peres

    Israel News First ‏@IsraelNewsFirst 7m7 minutes ago JUST IN: Shimon Peres has invited his family to say goodbye to him as his condition has significantly deteriorated. Not sure about the veracity of the source, nor if Peres can be in a condition to invite his family anywhere, especially if he's deteriorated.

    Kirk Douglas

    I predict he'll die either during the last week of 2016 or the first week of 2017. I predict he'll die either before New Year's Eve or after it.

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    I like this idea, the only possible drawback is that it will make reaching 100 points a lot easier. I would have been at 106 points now instead of 91. At least four more teams would also have broken 100 by now (didn't bother to check all of them), without taking into account the larger incidence of picks such as Muhammad Ali and Joao Havelange this would have (presumably) caused.

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    Question: if I change the name of my main team next year, do I retain the stats from the previous team name (best place, times participated)?

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    I was hoping that one would sneak under the radar for a unique pick. These days it's not enough to merely find good unique picks, you must anticipate and leak your competitors' unique picks.

    Former Israeli PM, stroke. I give him about 8 more years.

    Ciampi is #9 on the Italian knockoff deathlist. To my surprise, they don't have Napolitano.

    What's wrong with Fripp that'd make him such an obvious contender? Forget about Fripp. What's wrong with Krieger?

    This is fun. Still no official announcement by Uzbekistan, but now the Turkish PM has confirmed it, the Kazakh President will cut his trip to G20 summit to visit Uzbekistan tomorrow, and the Uzbek TV has changed its schedule: no more commercials and entertainment.
