Interesting article about the 8 people who locked themselves up in an Arizona glasshouse and lived for 2 years in their own independent biosphere ("Biosphere 2"): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jul/13/spaceship-earth-arizona-biosphere-2-lockdown The initiator of the project, John P. Allen, is still alive at 91: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Allen

As a successor for Henry Kissinger, should he ever leave this plane for Baator, what about Donald Rumsfeld, now 88?

Sorry, no one had. Excel mistake of mine. Scoreboard updated.

Update time: New hits: Replacement Nick Cordero, part-replacement, part-already picked Jack Charlton (Great Uncle Bulgaria subbed him in, well done), Everton Weekes a unique hit for Torva, and Ennio Morricone. Mark Naley seems more likely to be a non-obit than not as of now. And as I begin my usual descent down the scoreboard post-replacement period (even Zanardi and Draper won't help, because as predicted, everyone else subbed them in, too), look who is suddenly there at no. 2: Rank Team Score 1 Death Impends 849 2 msc 683 3 gcreptile 661 4 RadGuy 626 5 Book 619 6 Banana 608 7 Joey Russ 607 8 Cpt.

There's a Netflix documentary out now. Very obvious that 2019 was going to be his final year in hindsight.

Kane Tanaka is only 70 days away from the nr. 3 spot. I think she'll make it, but for a 117-year-old every single day is another achievement.

Glasgow Rangers hero (?) Scott Nisbet has metastatic kidney cancer: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/rangers-hero-scott-nisbet-battling-22332124 I guess it's not the biggest name, but he had European appearances.

Two new tweets by Ady Barkan that demonstrate his steady decline:

Well, thank God (or Goddess, or fate, or whatever) he didn't outlive all his three sons.
