    The Dead Of 2011

    I wonder if he'll qualify for an unnatural death bonus? Even though he was suffering from metastatic stomach cancer, an autopsy has revealed he died due to accidental causes when an air embolism occurred following the removal of a catheter. I think it does DDT. Well spotted!

    Michael Gough

    The Celestial Widowmaker? (I'm not using that one for the DDP by the way, unless the eventual Deathlist pun is too similar to one I have in mind...)

    The Dead Of 2011

    I have to say I was a bit surprised that your main team haven't had any hits so far when I was collating the hits for Jan/Feb. Still plenty of time to make an impact, champ...

    Gaddafi Guesses

    This is 2011, not 1989... Perhaps do a little google before you play the smartarse card I'd not hesitate to say 1989 passed Turkmenistan by... Well, I had no idea Turkmenistan was in North Africa and whose regime had been propped up by oil and US patronage.... Yes, it's tucked between Yemen, Bahrain and if rumour has it parts of China. I get the point your making. I'm sure you were crying out for Indonesian emancipation when the wall came down...

    Ruby Muhammad

    Two things to ponder on. 1. Will she get a proper obit? 2. Is she 113 or 103?

    Political Frailty

    Dead. http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/67897/...-president-dies I'm gobsmacked that Ratu Iloilo hasn't got a UK obituary yet. He was a often mentioned in the British press when he was alive and was a significant figure in Melanesian politics for many years. The two teams who picked him on the DDP possibly have similar concerns. Iloilo was also the paramount chief of the district of Viseisei in Fiji's Ba Province (just up the road from the airport, for the benefit of anyone who's ever visited Fiji), where the consumption of kava is still practised with enthusiastic vigour. Traditionally when a great ruler such as Iloilo dies, the menfolk hold a several day long vigil consuming gallons of the stuff and getting so numbed in body and mind that they are unable to even speak for up to a week. I doubt that there is anywhere in the world right now where the male populace are more incapable of anything than they are here. Obit will probably be in the Independent within the next couple of months, with most papers struggling and under pressure to prioritise and save space etc. stuff like this is considered less relevant Fat Jo got the "in brief" obituary at the bottom of the page in the Independent on Wednesday but it's not online. So idk. If someone, somehwere produces a scanned image of that article, then the points are there...

    Steve Jobs

    Hmmm. I'm of the theory that when you have a well known cancer sufferer suddenly looking perky, it means that he's stopped having treatment and he's about to snuff it...
