Oh wow, that reminds me of what they say about dementia afflicted people... music helps them remember things. Maybe he's already pretty far gone, but only functions through singing.

Random find by going through the DDP names, Clive Brittain looking rough in this video from a month ago: His wife died last year. Note the hand in the background.

I had Rush Limbaugh for "L" (2+2 =4 points) And Lee Noble as a replacement for the Nick Hitchon double in the "N" spot (2+2+1 = 5 points). Indeed, sorry, old lady, it's only a "duo". I have the pm's to prove, if needed, but I think it's not enough for either of us anyway.

Good. I've had him on my long list for years. He was going all over the world to evade his arrest. A long history of sexual abuse.

First Bobby Bowden QO if needed, but more will come: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/florida-state-football-coach-legend-bobby-bowden-dies-at-91-105721200.html

Extemely quick. Judging from the url, did he have some Covid together with his stage IV pancreatic cancer? Edit: No, he already had COVID in October 2020.

I blame Sinovac.

He did... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-58085870

Gina Krasley, star of "My 600 lb life" dead at 30 after having a "mystery illness": https://realityblurb.com/2021/08/06/how-did-my-600-lb-life-gina-krasley-die-at-30-after-revealing-mystery-illness-left-her-immobile/ She was "surrounded by family" because they couldn't escape her gravity.

Yes, fascinating, isn't it? The correct number, i.e. including excess mortality, will be in the 10.000.000-100.000.000 range (India alone has an excess mortality of more than four million). Four people got it right in our poll, though maybe some have changed their vote after some time? Was anybode right fro the start? Even Engineer's numbers were a little too low at the beginning. Only the Old Crem was too high, for now.

Never mentioned on this forum, what about Gordon Moore, former boss of Intel, and inventor of Moore's Law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Moore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law 92 years old now. For decades the question has been, who or what will die first, Moore or Moore's law?
