    Captain Tom Moore

    Well, the DDP has already made a couple of Toms their captains.

    Disappointment of not being higher?

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Hmm, strange thing on the "Who's dead" page...it's now ordered exclusively by day, not by month also...I wonder why... Problem is, I might not be able to fix it for a few more days.... But the scores are correct. Prophet remains at fiirst place, because he also picked Captain Tom. Edit: Okay, I can fix it temporarily, but the fundamental problem remains somewhere in the code. Well, later.

    Irate Visitors Rage Here, If You Must.

    Well, I also quit the forum. But it was late, and I was really tired. I returned this morning.

    Aung San Suu Kyi

    If I had to guess, she had "no other choice" but to suppress the Rohingyas. Many people, and the military want it too much. Sometimes, you have to strike deals with the previous elite. More than sometimes, quite regularly, actually. I guess the regime have been watching the situation and were just waiting to strike again.

    The 2021 Deathlist Cup

    I don't have the best Cup track record, but I'm surprised my would-be round 1 joker wasn t picked (though maybe the "byes" did). Edit: Also, both my potential opponents have been going for very international teams - interesting!

    The Rabbi Thread

    I stopped sending him my Tefillim and Tehillah. It was simple prayer fatigue. I assume I was not the only one who felt this was, sorry, Dovid.

    Death By Numbers 2021

    3rd update... Mr. Whit scores the unique Cloris Leachman/Cicely Tyson double, as the latter is a unique hit for him. Plus, there are the already mentioned Larry King, and Phil Spector - bringing us the four hits I usually look for in an update. Ezra Nawi...well either tomorrow or never... Curiously, Larry King was a widely predicted death this year, and frequently picked in the DDP, but not so much here, the scoreboard remains more unchanged than one might have thought: Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Shocked. Very regrettable and unnecessary. I liked her quite a bit. You can see that I posted a song of hers in the "What are you listening to" thread.

    Six people, six months

    I kind of like the situation that Joey and I fail to win because of Mr. "I'll be dead in two weeks" Dai Davies.

    Deathless Days

    Yesterday was a curious day. 5 names so far, one red name, one race horse, two accidents. It's almost as if nobody died of natural causes.

    Well, it's an "amp" link, which works for me, sometimes, to circumvent the regional blocking.

    Larry King

    I think he was happy, if he died by Covid. Because this way, he still was a part of THE major news story. I think he would have been disappointed had it been another heart attack, for example.

    Notable Coronavirus Victims

    Chiwenga was just airlifted to China, for about the 23rd time. According to rumours, he also tested positive. https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/01/23/vp-chiwenga-airlifted-to-china-cozwva/ Considering he probably has cancer, I think he's a very likely candidate for fatality no. 5.

    Joe Biden

    In more health-related news, Joe Biden has an exercise bike that might pose a cybersecurity risk: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/21/joe-biden-peloton-fitness-bike-cybersecurity-risk He starts every day with an exercise regime of biking and weight-lifting.

    "He becomes the fourth Minister to perish as a result of Covid-19 related complications following the demise of Perrance Shiri, Dr Ellen Gwaradzimba and Dr Sibusiso Moyo" I smell a Cup theme team there....

    The Guardian writes that German attitudes towards death are changing: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/22/grave-matter-germans-seek-new-ways-to-talk-about-dying When is anyone going to finally interview me?!?

    The Rabbi Thread

    Oh yeah, wasn't that what Carlos Menem was suffering from a month ago? Still alive, by the way. I wonder if I ever learn and stop picking immortals for my Deathrace teams.

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Yeah, I'm slowly getting back on track. One of these DDP hits needs a change of person in the database. I'll do it this weekend. I think we've had 3 hits, maybe more. I haven't checked, was Peter Swan picked? I think he was at one point. I'll check it.
