U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt died today in 1945, barely a month before the end of the Second World War in Europe...

Joseph Merrick, the 'Elephant Man', died today in 1890...

Well it makes no diference to you apparently as you live in outer space or something, untouched by the grubby hand of politics...

Dead. Well done to the teams who picked him on the DDP. Cutting it a bit fine to the wire. Is there an actual date of death yet? Wikipedia seems to think that it happened in December 2009. Take what you will from that. Oh dear. I would have thought it would have made the headlines sooner...

It's a fucking huge score in Scrabble 'n all!

Yes! "watch him though, he's a devil."

Dead

Well I live in Barnsley...a safe Socialist spot populated by working class sheep who haven't two brain cells between them . When will these idiots realise that only Maggie can lead us forward? An 84 year old with Alzhiemer's will lead us out of recession? Who's track record as PM when she still had something vaguely resembling marbles was to lead Britain into TWO recessions? Of which Barnsley and other Northern towns' livelyhoods and employment were decimated?

I live in a safe Conservative seat, so voting for anyone else will be pissing into the wind. Plus I will be abroad on election day and for the above reason, I don't think I'll be busting a gonad getting a postal vote....

Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated today in 1968...

Oi oi oi oi! Those Paul Newman ones were of my own creation...that's why it took bloody ages!

He never got himself in the kind of trouble the current incumbant has got himself into. Mind you, he must have known too, surely?

Georges Pompidou, President of France, dies in office today in 1974 of a rare cancer...

Tzank you very much!

Surrealist painter Max Ernst died today in 1976...

Politicians are always seen as failures because despite the public's outward cynicism, we expect too much from them. Cynicsim is optimism in different clothes...

Paul Newman and Tom Cruise enter the high stakes world of bee keeping in The Color of Honey.. ...sequel to the cattle seizing drama, The Rustler

The only cancer in America is Republicanism...

That's a rather nasty thing to say....

Knowing him, he'll want to head it...

Why don't you register with us Davy? Being a guest is like pissing into our tent...

Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States of America and who famously came up with the phrase 'Military-Industrial Complex', died today in 1969...

Too true Vaagy! Only 2 long shot guesses still in-play on the sweepstake - your's of March the 9th and DDT's of April the 16th. So half way between those two dates is Noon (local time in place of death) on the 28th March. That's looking good for DDT... I checked on this to see which date I predicted, only to find out that I never took a shot! (Not sure what that smiley's indicating, but what the heck...) Waiting for the caption 'Dennis hopping off', which is almost as predictable as the Michael Foot 'deadline'. I'm just hoping Deathlist doesn't have the same headline as mine when he finally snuffs it...

The 'sex thimble', Dudley Moore, died today in 2002...
