Aaaaahh.... the Tom Smith of 2021? Would you joker the "terminally ill" 13-pointer in his first year after diagnosis? Edit: Glioblastoma, by the way.

Katharine McPhee (36) apparently is expecting her first child with music producer David Foster (70!): https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/katharine-mcphee-36-expecting-first-22816281

The cunt Stephen Pollard has had blood cancer since 2018: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1346413/stephen-Pollard-health-news-uk-update-flu-jab/amp However, it was discovered early and so his prognosis is "decent". Cunt. (Still, only "decent"?)

So I'm reading that Lewis Hamilton equalizes Michael Schumacher's race-winning record. Quite impressive, because I remember that Schumacher's breaking of the Senna records was already regarded as historically unique. But I guess it's very likely that Hamilton becomes the ...winningest... Formula One race ever. Also Kimi Raikkönen is now the driver with the most Formula One starts, also one for the history books.

And here is the update.. let me check for the hits: Bob Gibson was a frequent hit, Eddie Van Halen, too, Jackie Stallone as mentioned above. But.. that's it? Vasily Kulkov needs a little luck to get an obit now. I only have a feeling that this silence means a bigger hit is coming very soon.

That reminds me... do we already have a thread for Norman Lloyd?

Moamen Zakaria - the Marian Cisovsky of 2025? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8726261/Mohamed-Salah-pays-tribute-Egypt-team-mate-Moamen-Zakaria-battling-motor-neurone-disease.html

Former Pittsburgh Steelers player Tunch Ilkin has ALS. I give him two years: https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/10/09/tunch-ilkin-diagnosed-with-als/

Saeb Erekat now has the Coronavirus (with a transplanted lung): https://www.timesofisrael.com/top-plo-official-saeb-erekat-diagnosed-with-coronavirus/

Okay, he's doing porn, solo porn, for now: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12876276/aaron-carter-braids-melanie-martin/ He also has a crackwhore girlfriend and a haircut that looks like the facehuggers of the Alien movies.

I like that our forum poll is relatively close to the actual polls. Right now we have: Biden - 50% Trump - 43,6% Neither - 6,4% Now, if some of those "None of the above" would switch to Biden, we'd be in almost perfect agreement.

Can anyone tell whether this article mentions the death of UK swimmer Helen Yate? I guess it's very, very likely, but it's behind the paywall for me (or do I use a free trial?). https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/in-search-of-britains-oldest-olympian-the-remarkable-story-of-helen-yate-j2qcsr7wg

I was REALLY lucky getting a full house with 6 hits. Now Reza-Shajarian is my 7th hit. But here, it was very unfortunate Mark Naley didn't obit. If he had, Reza-Shajarian would have given me roughly 150pts of bonuses (full house, two times two pairs, a new pair of fives).

Been waiting for this, Biden just reached a new peak in the 538 polling average, being 9,8 pts ahead of Trump: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/national/ His own share of the vote has been peaking for a week now, but that's only natural because more and more undecided voters choose a candidate. But the margin between the two has never been bigger.

Hit for me in several pools, including AltObits (10 pts). 2 weeks after his 80th birthday.

I also cried wine-flavoured tears!!

Ahem, sorry, late reply... Ruth Morrissey was born in 1981: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/ruth-morrissey-obituary-courageous-campaigner-in-cervical-smear-scandal-1.4311831 I have to update this weekend, I guess.

That's a nice list, lots of my favourites in the Top Ten (Vogue, Deeper and Deeper, even Drowned World/Substitute for Love). What's missing for places 1 and 2? Like a Prayer (good) and ... Frozen?? (meh) Edit: Does anyone here really like Frozen? It's such a Yoga mum song.

Well, I think all the points have been made here, about 5437 times.

Aahhh... a risky pick it seemed, late last year. But the silence was ominous.

Ahem, CNN has Biden ahead by 16 points now: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/06/politics/cnn-poll-biden-trump-2020-election/index.html Whatever Trump is doing here, he's only appealing to his very core voters. And those 35% are not enough. For the rest, it just looks reckless. You can see him on camera. It's terrible to watch. I think he should be fine, with having the world's best possible healthcare available. But the way he treats himself opens him up for something much worse - and at the very least he might be left with long-term lung damage. And we will see that at the next debates, which he apparently wants to attend.

Now let's see if Ashkin gets an indirect QO mention. He's already been mentioned today on the BBC sites: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-54420240 But it does not say that he died.

Roger Penrose got it now for his work on black holes. Could it elevate him up to DeathList status? Maybe part of the calculations of the committee was that Stephen Hawking didn't get it.

He may try to infect some people he couldn't reach in the past week, you know, Bill Barr, Joe Biden, Mike Pence.
