    You can pick whomever that is. The choice will be vetted for fame and either accepted or rejected. You are correct with your observation, there are no age limitations for picks.

    Pool has been updated. Dynamite Kid was a trio. Gerard Tierney did have him, as did one other player, aside from me. Thor Hansen was a strikeout, last picked in 2017.

    Would appear to be that way, but the great unknown (Gerard Tierney) may still have something to say if he had both Tom Billington & Thor Hansen.

    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    Today appears to be one of those buzzworthy deadpool days and it's still only the early AM, Eastern Time. Sorry folks, but I had Tom Billington aka the Dynamite Kid in the AO Deadpool. His date of death is currently listed as December 5th. If it remains as such, he died on his 60th birthday. I miss out on 3 points because he aged into his 60s but it would be a 15 point birthday hit bonus. If it's revised to an earlier date, reverse the point circumstances. If it's any consolation, I dropped Thor Hansen from my 2018 list. He is also listed as having died today, Dec. 5. The points could fly today if anyone had both.
