  1. I agree. I think a unique bonus should still count more than a Drop 40 bonus, maybe 2-3, or even better 2-4?

    Punk fashionista Judy Blame, dead at 58: http://www.vogue.co.uk/article/judy-blame-has-died
  3. Small update for Liam Miller, Morgan Tsvangirai and some minor hits (WPC Davies), also José José now down to 7 base points. Bill Crider down to 5% obitability. 1. Dead Ends (177,265) --- 2. Bucket of Blood (176,455) --- 3. Day in the Death (171,925) +3 4. Deceased Hose (171,9) -1 5. Dead Wait (171,255) -1 6. The Love Boat (170,675) -1 7. Still Life (170,195) +1 8. Wormer, he's a dead man!... (169,0725) +1 9. Drollercoaster (167,5125) -2 10. Ethnic Cleansing (165,46) --- 11. To Kill a Gabor Sister (164,8225) --- 12. Shaun of the Dead 69 (164,153) +1 13. Poochie Died on the Way Back to his Home Planet (162,4025) -1 14. Thomas Jefferson Survives (160,195) +4 15. GUN (Ami Brown) (160,2425) -1 16. GUN (Gabriele Grunewald) (160,1025) -1 17. The Living End (158,955) -1 18. People who I think might die in 2019 United (158,243) -1 19. DDP Tofoa (157,09) +1 20. The Blight House (157,4425) new (21. Pan Breed (156,43)) I calculated scores for the Blight House and it enters the Top 20. I didn't calculate scores for A Good Innings yet, but I'll do it if one of their more unusual picks score. If I had to guess, Emma Hannigan and José José will be the next hits. This will put Bucket of Blood at the top (above The Love Boat). Dead Ends is a slower team and will drop a little in the next months unless one of the possible second-half-of-the-year hits suddenly dies.

    The rumours were there before though. I assume they spawned this thread.

    Good genes, bad lifestyle...I wonder which one is going to win.

    (C)Rappers

    Ha, I remember Spade's post...so random, or so I thought... I assume that this guy's lifestyle didn't exactly move the odds on his favour.

    Pat Robertson

    Pat Robertson had a stroke - but is back on TV only 10 days later: https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/health/2018/february/pat-robertson-returns-to-the-700-club-just-10-days-after-stroke I think his biggest health risk is staying off TV.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    My next round team (should I advance) is getting seriously thinned right now. Don Briel (religious studies founder) and Greg Smyth (hockey player) dead. Tessa Jowell is apparently doing well enough. Emma Hannigan probably won't survive long enough. I'm really unhappy with what I have right now.

    Hooroo, Mate.

    Barry Du Bois cancer update: https://startsat60.com/health/big-issues/cancer/loads-of-diarrhoea-and-nausea-barry-du-bois-latest-cancer-update Lots of info, a medical expert could probably tell where this is going, I can't.

    Silent Era People

    I included M because it "barely" is a talkie. Still very raw sounds in some places. It's the earliest german film, I could imagine, that there might be survivors of (the child actors).

    Silent Era People

    Hmm.. anyone from Metropolis still alive? I doubt it. Maybe someone from "M"? Honestly, most of potential survivors - child actors or bit actors - probably died in WW 2.

    Silent Era People

    Hmm, so Baby Peggy survives Lassie Lou Ahern. I thought it would have been the other way round.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    The clock is ticking for my pick Emma Hannigan: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/author-emma-hannigan-says-her-cancer-treatment-options-are-exhausted-1.3395378?mode=amp March will decide if my team is a contender... By the way, Emma's story is very sad. She has been almost painfully optimistic - until now.

    Academic Footnotes

    I didn't have to read it, I knew it :). Daniel Kahneman is a VERY big academic name and would obit in the BBC and Guardian immediately. I very briefly considered Anne Treisman as a "name-out-of-nowhere" for my B-Team. I think she might catch a QO, too.

    I had forgotten that I had one. Four hits, ok, I guess, but I missed Paul Alcock.
