    Ideas and Possibilities for 2006

    Yes, I realised my mistake about Tom. I'm not the only one though, somewhere else actually reported his age this year as 76 and that got the fans into a panic, especially as the new series is starting soon. Apparently there is always a Doctor Who death just before a new series starts. I don't mean the regeneration scenes either.

    New Here and saying Hi.

    Mollie is a stubborn old bugger. I've had her on my list for the past three years and she's still going. Wasn't she mistakenly reported as dead about 5 years ago?
  10. Surprised, though I'm more surprised he wasn't on DDP at all.

    Near Misses for 2005

    Friday, February 18, 2005 Posted: 10:08 AM EST (1508 GMT) MARINA DEL REY, California (AP) -- Samuel W. Alderson, the inventor of crash test dummies that are used to make cars, parachutes and other devices safer, has died. He was 90. Alderson died February 11 at home of complications from myelofibrosis, a bone marrow disorder, his son Jeremy said. He grew up tinkering in his father's custom sheet-metal shop, worked on various military technology and by 1952 had formed Alderson Research Labs. The company made anthropomorphic dummies for use by the military and NASA in testing ejection seats and parachutes. The dummies were built to approximate the weight and density of humans and hold data-gathering instruments. One type of dummy he developed measured radiation doses. There was little interest in his first automobile test dummy, he once said, until publication of Ralph Nader's consumer protection book "Unsafe at Any Speed" in 1965. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act was passed a year later. Before creating dummies, he worked on missile guidance systems and helped develop a coating to enhance vision on submarine periscopes during World War II. He left his original company in 1973 to form a competing crash test dummy maker, and the two companies were dominant in the market until eventually merging in 1990 to form First Technology Safety Systems. In addition to son Jeremy, he is survived by another son, a sister and four grandchildren.

    How about Denis Healey for next year's list? He was born in 1917 so he's certainly getting on and he's sure to get an obit. Don't have any details of his health though.

    The death of the drummer in Sparks was in the paper today. Suicide. Don't think he was famous enough though.
