maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted April 30, 2023 34 minutes ago, Thatcher said: Now Turkey also claims to have ‘neutralised‘ Abu al-Qurashi, the Leader of ISIS. Slightly more hopeful, though dead pool points in these circumstances are very slow arriving - not quite a unique pick on the DDP this year, TWO of us have selected him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted May 1, 2023 So, re yer ISIS guy, news are all over this and Turkey talking about it like it's definitely a done deal. You'd assume such levels of confidence are based on enough evidence to generate dead pool points. Not the world's healthiest job, you'd assume anyone getting appointed would consider a whole packet of Fruit Gums an ambiious challenge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kind of leaning towards waiting for a long time... and then maybe, if there's still no known age, I'll go with the highest age that's plausible to me. Judging from the one picture, which might be a a couple of years old...I think I'd go with the 50-59 age bracket. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His central argument is not that the Holocaust didn't happen per se, but that Zionist leaders were active partners of the Nazis in carrying it out.
