  1. Leone di Lernia will beat Bill Paxton in February, that's for sure. No close competition this month.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

    An obvious pick who won't make it to 2018. Public domain.
  3. Miguel Ferrer was proclamed Dead of the Month for January 2017. The site owner says in the proclamation he's quite disappointed he beat John Hurt. We'll organize a big march against Ferrer, say his son suffer from autism, exc, exc.

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    Nevin and Magill will die between today and tomorrow, I reckon. Magill is very likely to obit, it makes me wonder that both Aspin and Clark were List of the Lost entries.

    Abdelaziz Bouteflika

    It's definitely a hoax. He should be back on 2018 list, though.
  6. Oh, I nearly forgot. Cesare di Bert obit: http://messaggeroveneto.gelocal.it/udine/cronaca/2017/01/30/news/cervignano-piange-cesare-di-bert-l-aviatore-decorato-1.14797916

    The Dead Of 2017

    Fernando Pucci, the last "compagno di merende", the group of Tuscan people suspected to be the Monster of Florence, has died in late February aged 86. Wikipedia had him dead in 2002. Dicks.

    Nobel Prize In Death

    Schrodinger's original formulation is incorrect: the cat is not alive and dead, it has a mixed state in which it's alive or dead, because the superposition of physical states (decay/not decay) applies to the system, not to the cat! That means it regards the probabiity of the cat's death/life, which is superpositioned, but that does not mean life and death are present at the same time in the cat. Like many others, it's a paradox whose fame is due to an incorrect formulation. My question is another. You know the infinite monkey theorem. Well, if we take the atoms in the universe as casual letters of a computer and time as infinite, why won't we come back to life if there is a finite number of atoms? (finite number of atoms in an infinite time will clearly be put together in every possible way, which also means there will be identical configurations at some point). It's either: 1)Time will finish. Don't know when, but it progresses till an end (like Zsa Zsa). 2)Atoms are infinite. Or both.

    The same thing was written about George H. W. Bush.

    Bruce Forsyth

    Funny. I took him off at the last moment to put in Peter Sallis. But for this two months there were lot of news about Bruce, none about Sallis. Bad choice?

    The Dead Of 2017

    A Simple Plan was a great movie. RIP.
  22. Miguel Ferrer is leading, 298 votes against 293. No matter what happens, sun will rise in the morning.
  23. There's an Italian site which allows to vote the death of last month. This month Miguel Ferrer is beating John Hurt, which is inconceivable. Here's the link. You can vote only once. I voted six times.
