    From Cleric To Relic

    Devon church minister Andrew Gardiner has died: https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/heartfelt-tributes-loving-caring-kind-1406922 Pretty unremarkable, I guess, but I almost put him on some of my times because of recent relation to the BBC, as mentioned in this article: https://www.christiantoday.com/article/hope-still-rises-as-minister-with-cancer-features-on-flagship-bbc-programme/120692.htm

    He may only be famous in India, but then, India has about as many inhabitants as the USA, the UK, Russia, Japan and Australia combined, times twice!

    Barbara Bush

    "I am still old and still in love" writes Barbara in some yearbook or something: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/29/still-old-and-still-love-barbara-bush-updates-smith-classmates/VvDEv33GsZGw6itqMkB7dK/story.html Interesting quote: "I have had great medical care and more operations than you would believe. I’m not sure God will recognize me; I have so many new body parts! "

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Thanks SC, well done, beaten fair and square. I thought my team would get to 4-5 hits actually.... (would still have been tough to win against your team!) Also, sadly, I am not one of the best. My research may be, but I make poor choices.

    Birthday Deaths

    Out of soon-to-be 42 people, we have two matches. The first match came at nr. 29. We have 9 September birthdays and only one in December. Both matches were in September. Second most-frequent month is August with 6 birthdays. So I'm pretty sure that the zodiac sign Virgo is the most frequent one. And as astrology says, Virgos like to categorize, to get things into order. Oh, and famous deaths on my birthday: RIch Piana (that's why I could easily remember that August 25th was such a deathless day...), Neil Armstrong, Ted Kennedy, the woman R Kelly peed on.

    Birthday Deaths

    The Birthday Problem: When does the probability that two people in the same group share the same birthday exceed 50%? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem Answer: It's 23. Now I wonder how many people have posted in here and whether there are shared birthdays...
