Guest Sir Creep Posted December 26, 2014 Lol I just had a guy quit our pool I a hissy. I know yours isn't a classic point-scoring pool here, but as all that are do, we include a rule no children (18 at death). Who knew, but the present Nobel Peace a prize holder is some 17-bye old Middle Eastern gal who he correctly noted 'has a bulls eye on her back'. I said he wouldn't score if she died before 18 lol. Anyway a good name to follow whoever she is. Same reason I have Edward Snowden on my list---his head pops up 2" too high over the wall my govt taking him out.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) 2005 chemistry laureate Yves Chauvin dead at 80. Or 84. He told the press, that he was too ashamed of being awarded the Nobel prize to accept it. Chauvin later went to Stockholm to accept it. Very consistent. Edited January 29, 2015 by Magere Hein 2 posts merged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted April 15, 2015 Swedish poet, Tomas Transtromer, Nobel Literature winner in 2011, dies at 83. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/entertainment/swedish-nobel-literature/1748142.html So he wasn't a robot in disguise then..... I almost posted that myself BBC Obit, if needed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32093573 I think I have to apologize to Uschi who suggested him for 2015 (or already 2016?), but I thought that Grass was still too active to be considered. But then, he died of a lung infection, showing that at a certain age, there are always things that could happen... It seems that the best medicine money can buy, can get you to 90 years unless you have a debilitating disease like cancer or Parkinson's and the like. But beyond that, your body gets vulnerable to things like pneunomia. Case in point, King Abdullah... Now Grass did not have access to the best medicine money can buy, so he died a few years sooner.
