Applecool Downunder 10 Posted October 8, 2010 Film and Television director Roy Ward Baker has died aged 93. Shouldn't be too much trouble getting an obit which will mean an 8th hit for I'm Ready For My Funeral Mr. DeMille! I tell you, I'm quite shocked that I've gotten 8 hits this year, quite insane I think. And considering I had a few "misses" who knows how high I could have been. Still, I'm looking good for a top 20 finish perhaps, definitely getting my best ever finish on the DDP. If you think you have got too many, pass some to me. Ain't got a one yet, a dismal year for Feng Shui Pig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted October 9, 2010 Sam Lesser International Brigade veteran. Down to a handful now, and worth noting that today's Guardian listed ALL survivors in a short piece about Lesser's death. So they'll probably count them down from here on, in a dead pool friendly way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 16, 2010 Benoit Mandelbrot, the "father of fractals", dead at 85. One for the nerd contingent there. I guess I'm part of that. I met professor Mandelbrot some eight years ago at a conference in Amsterdam, where he gave a presentation of fractal modelling of economic processes. Afterwards, over a beer or two, we had a chat mostly about computing, mathematics and beer. His knowledge of beer was remarkable. I mourn one of the worlds most interesting scientist and a very nice man. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
