Remember, you cannot be turned down because of your health!

In the interview clip I saw in the link, I don't know, he doesn't look like a dude about to die. Doesn't look as sickly as I would have expected. Maybe he will see 2020 after all.

Don Newcombe, the first pitcher in major league history to win Rookie Of The Year, a Cy Young Award, and an MVP Award (this feat has only been matched by Justin Verlander), died yesterday at the age of 92. EDIT: Sorry about that, folks: I see that this was talked about in the Baseball thread.

Former USMNT World Cup veteran Fernando Clavijo, who also coached in MLS, has died after a 5-year battle with multiple myeloma. He was 63.

Celine Dion looks extremely gaunt. She looks more than simply being thin. I know she's always denied anorexia rumors, but damned if I am not having Karen Carpenter flashbacks. Ms. Carpenter was 32 when she died and looked 52, at least. She looked like death. Celine is 50, but take a look at her...she looks like she could be in her late 60's. If it's not anorexia, maybe she's just sick. All I know is that she does not look like a healthy human being. And she has also had the stress of dealing with the deaths of her husband and brother in the recent past. Could be one to watch.

Didn't know where to put this, as I am a relatively new lurker and decided to make an account. My friends and I did our first death pool more than a couple of years ago, where the 4 of us picked just 2 celebrities each, and the contest was over when someone had their 2 picks die. We enjoyed it so much (the winner had Zsa Zsa Gabor and Billy Graham) that the 4 of us decided to have a more-encompassing 2019 Death Pool draft, with 8 categories and where you pick 2 celebrities for each category. We are from America (California, to be exact), so the choices were more US-centric, as we had a rule where at least 3 of us had to know who the celebrity was (hence, no Leah Bracknell or Fernando Ricksen). Our 8 categories were: 40 and Under, Foreign, Movies/TV, Music, Sports, Wrestling, Movies/TV/Music (the first Flex category), and another Flex category. We had a draft where the person with the first pick got to choose a person in the category of their choice, and then that person would get the 8th and final selection in that category; in the next category, the person that picked 1st and 8th would go 4th and 5th. Oh, and we also had a rule where you could have no more than four 90-and-overs on your roster, and no 100-year-olds. In any case, this was my team: Bam Margera, Demi Lovato (40 and Under) Prince Philip, Pope Benedict (Foreign) Valerie Harper, Sidney Poitier (Movies/TV) Little Richard, Tina Turner (Music) Steve Gleason, Chris Doleman (Sports) Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff, Howard Finkel (Wrestling) Cloris Leachman, Barbara Walters (Movies/TV/Music Flex) Harry Reid, Beth Chapman (Flex) In doing my research, I based a lot of it on this site and just reading the comments. If this was the wrong thread to post this in, sorry about that. May the force be with me!
