Also, I think tomorrow I'll draw the tiebreakers for the 0-0 scores, so that the four players in these two games know whether to submit something, stay tuned.

Let's update for Wilson Fittipaldi and Irene Camber. Wilson Fittipaldi was a member of the Fittibaldi racing family. The name rang a bell for me, but I surely don't remember him, because he was active in Formula One in the 70s and scored only three points in 38 races. More importantly, he led the Fittipaldi team - which is probably what I remember. Wilson's son later became the first Nepo Baby of the Formula One championship. Wilson just could never slow down, so he died from eating too fast and choking on a piece of food. Three teams score. DeathByArsenic turns around their fortunes against Yorkshire Banker. Therewillbedeaths7 probably score the decisive hit. Irene Camber QOs with this obit: https://www.eurofencing.info/news/efc-mourns-the-loss-of-fencing-legend-irene-camber-n491195.htm though I see now that she also received the Corriere Della Serra obit. She was a legend of fencing and an Olympian gold medal winner at the Helsinki games in 1952. Caleb H scores a valuable unique hit against Bibliogryphon who might have jinxed himself when he submitted the early team. But there's some time left. livingbygrace 0-9 Therewillbedeaths7 Gooseberry Crumble 0-10 Famous6eva GuyFromFuture 6-3 Liz Lemon Caleb H 7-6 Bibliogryphon Dying Probably 0-7 max bossetti Wormfarmer 3-0 Thatcher Yorkshire Banker 3-6 DeathByArsenic The Immortal 0-0 justonecornetto GreatUncleBulgaria 0-6 Mortal Caso theoldlady 0-0 Baby Blue

Well, I'd say that in the eyes of some people the ground actually broke all the way through to hell when the Furry Fandom came into being.

Traumschiff is the german version of the Love Boat. So he was the german Bernie Kopell.

Ah yes, that was it. So, notice for all: Because I have to clean my inbox for the next round, all 1st round teams have been deleted. PLEASE always create a new chat for the next round.

Did you already send something to me? I might not have received it in that case.

I kind of hope for a win with Jacques Laffite. Then the winning strategy will have been to just copy/paste OoO's list of frail racers.

Yes, I should have added his "voice acting" - I have also played a few of the video games that he contributed to.

Stuart Organ, longest-running actor of Grange Hill, dead at 72: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68379238 Also Doctor Who, The Bill, etc....

Oh, because she was featured in the newspaper MPFC quoted... But wow, that was a fast decline. Edit: Ah, see post above.

One of the more lasting consequences of the lockdowns was the rise of OnlyFans. The porn perfomer inflation probably made porn a much less lucrative business for the studio actors/actresses. I don't have the statistics (yet?) to measure an increase in desperate former porn stars, but I could imagine that it's a common theme - and will be so for a couple of years until the market has fully adjusted to the "self-made porn star".

Hopefully, my inbox has enough space now - you may submit your teams for March.

Oh, that's shocking. The 1990 players are childhood heroes for me... is it starting now? One by one they'll be gone?

Piggybacking on this comment because german magazine Der Spiegel writes about him: https://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/diagnose/progerie-krankheit-hutchinson-gilford-syndrom-sammy-basso-ist-der-aelteste-junge-mann-der-welt-a-a61447ac-b786-46b0-b946-7df1d3cff68f I think I'd allow him in my pools, too. In Death By Numbers at least because of his status as "Oldest Person" of something, and the Cup because of his activism. He hasnt got a Wikipedia page yet, but I think he will, like a few others with that disease. But then his age with this disease is extremely high, like Stephen Hawking's 30+ years with ALS. So maybe death within the next 12 months isn't necessarily to be expected.

Two of Mr. Ibu's children have been arrested for stealing his health care donations: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68098357 BBC World is now on his case, good news for that DDP team.

I'm glad he lived long enough so that his wife can post a Superbowl photo of nearby Justin Bieber: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3PJVTiAZ9I/?igsh=MWphN2N6aTFxc3R5bg==

The Carter agents in the deep state are lying to us! Edit: Though I wonder if there are ANY Carter appointments still in active service. It's been at least 43 years...

I won't follow it all that closely.
