It's basically a life sentence. Kind of interesting, to me, that he got more than Maxwell.

Ha, when I saw the thread title I immediately thought of Dean Stockwell, too. Followed by John Turturro, aka Jesus, in The Big Lebowski. Also, Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

Pervert!

Davie Wilson, the scottish football player was a hit for me. I replace him with Andy Goram. (I really need to be more on top with this..)

The Kardashians are evil people, remember Lamar Odom?

They still seem in disagreement whether he has cancer.

RIP... she used her final years well.

Heh, I'm afraid I can't answer that. Next year, I plan on revising the DDP files in these early year weeks (weekends!). No Cup hosting for me then.

Neurobiologist Sir Colin Blakemore dead at 78 from ALS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Blakemore Edit: Okay, this is what it looks like when you quote an embedded tweet here. Edit: Also, apparently quite the big name and a hate figure of animal rights activists, interesting...

Ah, been on my longlist for some time. He was an insider name who saw a revival in recent years. I thought he had lived longer than could be expected already years ago.

Alright, seems like the Deadpooling gods want to send me into the second Cup finale in a row. And no matter how that goes, I think it might just be my last competitive Cup game. It's been fun, but yeah, it also took quite some time to always be on top of the news. I might be up for hosting in 2024 though, if I manage to hand my part in the DDP over by then. Edit: Oh yeah, and I think I will drop my "extremely minor names" list, my Cup storage, so to say, similar to last year.

It's five deaths for the 25th right now, so still a record low. However, the past three days have been relatively deathless, maybe the usual Wiki editors were out for the weekend or something.

Heh, yes, I'm checking the page. Very unusual. if its less than seven names, its in the Hall of Fame, so to say.

Hello Predictor, hope you're doing well. Yes, you are right. I had Jana Bennett a year younger than she actually was. Must have been because when I first heard of her, and entered her into my lists, I only knew the age, not the year of birth. This score change of 1 has that effect on everyone who picked her. You'll see it next time.

Yeah I thought of a dignitas thing... if they are only thinking about it, like Alain Delon, they're fine, but if there's already a date, then they cannot be accepted.

Let's have a quick update, because REMINDER: Replacement day is 1st of July. It's coming up. You can also replace now already, but the hits will only count from July 1st on. In other news, we have the big hit Jean-Louis Trintignant, picked by a lot of people. We also have the hit Peter Scott-Morgan, picked here and there. Especially meaningful though because the new leader has picked him. There's also Hugh McElhenny, the American football player who is a unique hit for Wormfarmer. I also had to add some points to Doulton because I didn't mark Walter Abish as dead, sorry! It all results in a new leader, Banana, well done! Half-time is apporaching, and because Banana picked both Jean-Louis Trintignant and Peter Scott-Morgan, there's now a bit of a gap to Salmon Mousse.

I think I can finally turn my interests into a profession.
