Damn, won't anyone die?

[Captain Oates 21]

Just to illustrate how much spare time I have, I decided to check how 2005 was doing overall.

 

The result is that 2005's 6 deaths brings it to 11th place out of a possible 19*.

 

*This includes the 1988 list which I recorded as having a 0 success rate.

 

So we are not doing that badly and winter has still to come.

Isn't this where we usually have the discussion about whether more people die in the winter cold or in the summer heat?

From my experiences (working in an old folks home(kitchen)) I can say that the deaths are evenly distributed throughout the year regardless of season.

 

But people do claim that the winter cold finishes them off.

what about 2003 when it was superhot in Europe, and thousands of people above the normal levels died in France and Italy?

I don't think there's the same massive numbers of deaths when it gets really cold, not even in a fact-based scenario like the one so convincingly portrayed in the Day After Tomorrow ("the temperature's dropping ten degrees a second!")

I stand corrected. But then again we don't expect weather like that this summer.

When will you be expecting it then, in the winter months perchance?

I was thinking more along the lines of it happening next summer or the summer after that actually.

Oh, I see. Wouldn't it just be easier to fire up the sun rays now and get it over with? I mean what will you do if you're among the dead next year? Wouldn't that be a shameful thing to have squandered an opportunity of a blistering summer?

 

 

You simply must pack your valise immediately and head to a sweltering locale.

I thought I was the pointless ranter here - oh well.

 

By the way, you misquoted me.

Not really since I didn't actually quote ye at all choosing instead to leave the box blank.

In which case, what was the point of the quote box.

I suppose one of the only exsplanations i can think of is

that it was a simple accident?

I just did it to do it for the sake of doing it. In addition to that there is the added factor of it taking less space when all the words are summarily obliterated.

Very handy. Cheers, Hein

Oh right -I'm not good with these sorts of things.

 

However now a lot of stuff in the other threads makes a bit more sense.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this year isnt going so well, it might speed up again towards the end of the year, but only 5 deaths in 6 months?

Is it always this slow?

As a relatively new member I would love it if the rate were to pick up. I think I am right in saying that whoever dies next will be the first new death I have experienced on DL.

Hopefully, if you see what I mean, things will pick up toward the end of the year. #

 

Biggs next? We can but hope so.

[Banshees Scream 110]

Biggs next? We can but hope so.

I may regret saying this as i've said before but i doubt

anyone will be shouting "It's Biggs!" anytime soon.

 

I think he's more of an actor then an ill Ambassador.

Hope your wrong . But it certainly seems to be a bit of a bogus illness.

[Guest iain]

[BrunoBrimley 86]

I think I'll go back on holiday.

Really?

Donmt people die any more?

No. You see Aianiaininanni, it's all part of a vast conspiracy against you...it was started in part by that Foot fellow...

Just have patience

 

- Patience brings time

 

- And time brings death

This sounds familiar:

 

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

 

Sorry, I'm on a Star Wars overload.

 

I guess you can't hear me anymore IYG?
