The Dead Cow

MK, you've only included 24 names on your list. If you want to avoid a pretty hefty penalty, then I would suggest you make the necessary amendments by throwing another name somewhere in there.

27 teams did pick him, quite some confidence, apparently. 26 actually, he was one of those who were =47th.

1. Zsa Zsa Gabor 2. Prince Philip 3. Paul Gascoigne 4. Chuck Berry 5. Prunella Scales 6. Ian Brady 7. George H.W Bush 8. Dick van Dyke 9. Robert Mugabe 10. Jimmy Carter 11. Fidel Castro 12.

Abe Vigoda 24. Caroline Aherne 25. Nancy Reagan

Here's the 50 most popular picks for 2016, with the exception of Rene Angelil who obviously didn't make it. There were 7 celebrities at joint 47th, so I picked who I thought were the 4 most interesting of them. 1. Adulyadej, Bhumibol 2. Aherne, Caroline 3. Al-Baghdadi, Abu Bakr 4. Ali, Muhammad 5. Banks, Gordon 6. Berkowitz, Daisy 7, Berry, Chuck 8. Booth, Antony 9. Brady, Ian 10. Bush, George H.W. 11. Campbell, Glen 12. Carter, Jimmy 13. Castro, Fidel 14. Crowe, Martin 15. Dawn, Liz 16.

Tyler Moore, Mary 48. Van Der Westhuizen, Joost 49. Van Dyke, Dick 50. Vigoda, Abe Same rules as always, 25 names in order of least likely to die. You've got one week to enter by posting in this thread.

My vote went to the terrorist. DDT's 100th hit ought to be a death we can all celebrate.

Angus Scrimm, the Tall Man from the Phantasm films, has died at the age of 89

Daily Mail obit for Harrington Jr. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3389119/Pat-Harrington-Jr-best-known-playing-Schneider-70s-TV-series-One-Day-Time-dies-age-86.html

56 years ago, Albert Camus had an unhappy death after he was involved in a car accident at the age of 46.

I haven't seen a single news report in English regarding the death of Michel Delpech. Sorry to be a cockwomble, but I think we should wait until he gets an actual qualifying obit before you start giving out points.

I may as well start providing you with yearly updates on each of my teams. I don't foresee any clean sweeps for at least a decade. 2013 (17/20) - None of the survivors from this team have perished since 2013, which goes to show how bad it was. I was quite new to dead pooling at the time. Buzz Aldrin, Brian Blessed, June Brown, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Glen Campbell, Queen Liz II, Eminem, Bruce Forsyth, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Gary Glitter, Juan Carlos of Spain, Courtney Love, Frank Lucas, Hosni Mubarak, Sofia of Spain, Patrick Stewart, Kim Woodburn 2014 (10/20) - A more successful year, but yet again there has been very little action since with only Sam Simon having his appointment in Samarra in 2015. Muhammad Ali, Liz Dawn, Superstar Billy Graham, Wilko Johnson, Scott Hall, Valerie Harper, Clive James, Michael Parkinson, Joost van der Westhuizen, Jerry Lewis, Ritchii Kara, Kate Granger, Frank Lucas 2015 (11/20) - A poor year, perhaps unlucky. I can see quite a few of these going this year, which is why I've carried 8 of them forward to my 2016 team. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Muhammad Ali, Glen Campbell, Frank Lucas, Kate Granger, Rev Billy Graham, Superstar Billy Graham, Valerie Harper, Clive James, Ritchii Kara, Lynne Stewart, Joost van der Westhuizen, Daisy Berkowitz, Peter Sutcliffe, Helen Fawkes, Rob Ford, Mary Tyler Moore, Liz Dawn

After a quiet couple of months, the scores remain very much the same. 1st - Death Impends - 15 points 2nd - Garn2 - 19 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 25 points 4th - Deathray - 30 points =5th - Bibliogryphon - 38 points =5th - maryportfuncity - 38 points 7th - msc - 41 points 8th - Toast - 46 points 9th - The Dead Cow - 48 points =10th - Magere Hein - 53 points =10th - Dr_T - 53 points 12th - Book - 65 points 13th - the_engineer - 66 points This means that I can announce that Death Impends is the winner of the Inverse Dead Pool 2015! This year's competition was bloody exciting up until November 10th and I will most certainly be running it again in 2016 as soon as I can gather a list of the 50 most popular DDP picks of 2016. Congratulations Death Impends and happy new year to everyone.

the Duke of Windsor is not clear enough who do you mean. I think he means Edward VIII, who died in 1972.

Peter Falk has Alzheimer's

Record breaker will be a big one. Eddie Large.

Many people made a Schmidt decision and chose to include him on their teams. Quite a few changes to the scores but nothing too significant. Scores! 1st - Death Impends - 15 points 2nd - Garn2 - 19 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 25 points 4th - Deathray - 30 points =5th - Bibliogryphon - 38 points =5th - maryportfuncity - 38 points 7th - msc - 41 points 8th - Toast - 46 points 9th - The Dead Cow - 48 points =10th - Magere Hein - 53 points =10th - Dr_T - 53 points 12th - Book - 65 points 13th - the_engineer - 66 points
