    Perfect, they're even saying they're doing this because they're the last ones alive.

    Henry Kissinger

    Spoke last week about the Vietnam War: http://www.twcnews.com/tx/austin/news/2016/04/26/henry-kissinger-speaks-at-lbj-library-as-part-of-vietnam-war-summit.html He was happy to take questions from the public because it may be one of the last times he might be able to speak about this topic.

    Susan Boyle

    Hospitalised because of a sudden outrage: http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/susan-boyle-hospitalised-after-meltdown-at-heathrow-airport-2772346/ Not close to death, but I was thinking about her recently, and expect her to die in her early 60s.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Obvious choice, but why not... Harris Wofford, the 90-year old US senator who just said he wants to marry his partner, who is 50 years younger than him - it would be his second marriage after his 50-year long marriage with his wife who died in 1995. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36127215

    Hell GC, she's been in the last few years ideas threads , and in a lot of the teams every year. I knew about the lung cancer, but not about the bladder, retina and throat cancer.

    Hooroo, Mate.

    Any deadpool starting right NOW? Australian socialite Lady Susan Renouf in palliative care with ovarian cancer and kidney failure, I guess even making it to the start of RadGuy's pool is a bit of a stretch. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3551927/Socialite-Lady-Susan-Renouf-s-daughters-join-bravely-battles-ovarian-cancer-receiving-specialist-care-hospital.html

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Listening to the songs now, currently to the entry of San Marino, and ha! Somebody asked himself "Does Leonard Cohen work as a disco number?" Not much good stuff in there, I think I prefer Austria. Russia wants it too much. The dutch song sounds too much like George Hamilton. I have grown to like the german song. Also Latvia, who where my favourites last year, the same songwriter wrote that song, too, and it shows.

    Next Music Shock Death!

    Nice one, GC! I should use my intuition more when making picks. But I chose neither him nor Merle Haggard, who I also "knew" was going to die. Similarly, I had a hunch that Muhammad Ali would die this year. I think it's posted on the "Who should be on the 2016 Deathlist thread". At least, he's in one of my teams, but I can't convince myself to put him into the Rotten Deadpool team.
