    Sinéad O'Connor aka Shuhada' Davitt

    Political Frailty

    Trump switches out the energy commission chairman Kevin McIntyre, officially because of a "more serious health setback than cancer" - brain cancer to be precise. That must have been quite the setback... https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/413047-trump-switches-out-energy-commission-chairman

    Darwin Awards

    Man wants to lock himself into a small airtight room for three days, and survive by the plants in there doing their thing (photosynthesize, is that a verb?). https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45965027

    Parkinson's link : http://www.chroniclejournal.com/news/local/students-soak-up-water-knowledge/article_8d50682e-c046-11e7-9180-e38fe595f7d4.html Full disclosure: Yes, I was ironic. Problem is, she might still get a QO, now that I've read more about it. Though not likely.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2019

    She's an activist in the fight for water rights -straight from the dream world of Naomi Klein, with the added authenticity of being a native American. I can already see the Guardian obit in front of me. Link for Parkinson's comes when I'm home. The pancreatic cancer - well, that stays with me.

Nom de Guerre Comrade Duch or Deuch - or Hang Pin.

    Sandra Day O'Connor

    Hmm, I once saw a picture of her on Twitter, 2-3 years ago, already in a wheelchair. Not the strongest person anymore, I could imagine she goes down quickly. (wording?)

    Bob Barker

    If I ever have a cat I'll neuter her and name her Bob Miaower.

    Kiwi Karkers

    Oh, on my longlist as well. I wouldn't rule it out - as a maori leader (him, not me).

    The Dead of 2018

    Oh dear, from the website: "This isn't a music festival, although there will be some tunes in the evenings. And it's not a drinking festival either, although the bar will be open from 16:00. It's a chance to take things to the next step while surrounded by nature, good people, and a determination to break down fears and make the most of life, regardless of what's happened in the past." — Anna "'nuff said" Mcnuff
