The Dead Cow

Yes, but subtract 1 for each pick because of this rule... That gives you ((19 - 1) + (98 - 1)) = 115

The most efficient member of the DeathList has spent over an hour of his time looking at death dates and equating them to points, and he has come up with a scoreboard. I gave Deathray the opportunity to save his credibility as a host, but it seems he has no intention on doing that and has left me to present you with this scoreboard. So here it is for those of you who are interested... 1st - Sir Creep - 432 2nd - CaptainChorizo - 393 3rd - Toast - 368 4th - Morbidkid - 358 5th - Rotten Ali - 301 6th - Book - 248 7th - Death Impends - 216 8th - Switch - 206 9th - msc - 177 10th - Whoam - 176 11th - The Unknown Man - 163 12th - maryportfuncity - 138 13th - gcreptile - 126 14th - YoungWillz - 115 15th - Shaun of the Dead - 43 16th - Bibliogryphon - 18 17th - JiroemonKimura - 13 Now as I warned Deathray, I may have cocked up somewhere. Therefore, you may want to double-check your scores just in case I have made a mistake.

I thought it derived from Plato, he wrote about love.in The Symposium

I noticed these tweets from back in January https://twitter.com/Dr_NakaMats/status/693348561635799040 https://twitter.com/Dr_NakaMats/status/693348622952325120 Not as fucked as most of us thought he was, but still not necessarily a bad pick.

Rob Ford's demise has had a huge impact on the scores. Only rockhopper and Morbidkid remain on 0 points, whilst Deathray receives 25 points and zooms down to last place.

And nobody thought Feek would either... Not exactly the most exciting of starts, is it? This dead pool has always been one to start slow, in fact, this year was the first year to have a hit in January. Up until last year the first hit had always been in March or later. So don't worry, things will pick up eventually. Anyhow, I'll do a reminder of the scores just to maintain the delusion that things are actually happening in this competition. The scores remain exactly the same as no one was mad enough to think that Joey Feek or Martin Crowe would survive the year. Here are the unchanged scores. =1st - CaptainChorizo - 0 points =1st - Deathray - 0 points =1st - En Passant - 0 points =1st - gcreptile - 0 points =1st - Magere Hein - 0 points =1st - Morbidkid - 0 points =1st - msc - 0 points =1st - Pedro67 - 0 points =1st - rockhopperpenguin - 0 points =1st - Spade_Cooley - 0 points =1st - time - 0 points =1st - YoungWillz - 0 points 13th - Sir Creep - 2 points =14th - Book - 3 points =14th - Dead Cow - 3 points =14th - Death Impends - 3 points 17th - Bibliogryphon - 7 points 18th - Toast - 8 points 19th - Garn2 - 9 points 20th - The Unknown Man - 12 points 21st - Switch - 17 points 22nd - Dr_T - 18 points

Dead Sad news. Wonderful Life

Shankar Ghosh is 'no more' according to this http://www.ptinews.com/news/7009401_Tabla-maestro-Pt-Shankar-Ghosh-no-more.html It's also on his sons Facebook page so that pretty much confirms it. Thanks DDT.

I threw another name in and out of curiosity what would the penalty be? I have no idea, I was just trying to sound urgent.
