Madame Defarge 21 Posted October 21, 2007 Max McGee, former receiver for the Green Bay Packers has fallen off his roof and died. Not adjusting his receiver, was he? Edit: No, having read the article, it seems he was blowing leaves off the roof. A bad day for irony. Bad day for irony, but gravity is batting two out of three thus far.

VSBfromH 74 Posted October 22, 2007 Paul Raven, bass player for Killing Joke, has died of a heart attack aged 47 . Great shame! I was just getting back into Killing Joke, most of the stuff I had was on cassette, so consigned to the outer reaches of the loft. I suppose they should play this at his funeral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9jJ17tpHjc Some interesting facts (from Wiki) about former Joke frontman Jaz Coleman: "He was involved in adding a verse in the Māori language to the New Zealand national anthem" and "In October 2006 it was announced that Coleman had been chosen as Composer in Residence for the European Union. As Composer in Residence he will be given a grant to write and perform music for the EU on special occasions" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted October 24, 2007 Sarza Cooper. I mean, talk about inconsiderate, she didn't even give us time to get a thread going and start joshing with the drive-by ranters! Incidentally, I know that's not how you spell her first name. You just get vicious ranters when you mock those already dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,953 Posted October 25, 2007 Eve Curie, the daughter of Marie Curie as well as publisher of the book Madame Curie, dead. Since the article's German, I'll be kind enough to give a Google translation. Paris - With 102 years, Eve Curie, one of the two daughters of the Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, in New York died. This was announced by her family in the category of death in the Paris newspaper Le Monde. " Eve Curie was pianist and writer. In 1938 it published under the title "Madame Curie" a biography of her four years earlier deceased mother. The book has been translated into 32 languages. During the Second World War, Eve Curie emigrated to London and the United States, from where the resistance against the German troops actively supported. From time to time, she worked as a war reporter and Italy as a nurse. After the war, she belonged to the publishers of the daily newspaper "Paris-Presse", and then she was temporarily Nato consultant. With her husband, Henry US-Diplomaten Richardson Labouisse, she took in the USA. Born in Poland in 1903, Marie Curie, together with her husband received the Nobel Prize in Physics and received eight years later the Nobel Prize for chemistry.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted October 26, 2007 Yeah but my trailing CPDP team has finally popped its 07/08 cherry, or summat. Has it? I thought a BBC or Independent Online obituary was needed, and I thought Fox had neither? Or have the rules changed? Any online Canadian news source counts as well, along with CNN and the New York Times. I didn't pick him because I figured he'd never get any of those, but apparentely he sunk the Canadian one. Still no Wikipedia page though, so no points yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
