Death Impends 7,991 Posted July 30, 2013 In wake of Murray, Byrd, and Brennan's deaths, we just need 12 deaths in each of the remaining months (well, techinically 11.6 deaths but death is not in decimals) to reach a 200 total... At this point looks certain to say there's going to be some record shattering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 30, 2013 In wake of Murray, Byrd, and Brennan's deaths, we just need 12 deaths in each of the remaining months (well, techinically 11.6 deaths but death is not in decimals) to reach a 200 total... At this point looks certain to say there's going to be some record shattering. Especially when my pre-planned autumnal surge kicks in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,984 Posted July 30, 2013 At the pace the deaths have come in this year 200+ hits seems certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 30, 2013 Well let's put it this way. Byrd and Brennan should get their obits pretty soon and should another couple shuffle off before Thursday, we would have had almost as many deaths so far, as we did in the whole of 2008 & 2009 (145 & 146). And there's still 5 months left... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,991 Posted July 30, 2013 Byrd got the Reuters nod earlier in the day and Brennan got the same just now, although most likely more will come for Brennan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going Underground 74 Posted August 2, 2013 Serious question. Is the DDP the biggest or most recognized DP around? I'd like to think so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted August 2, 2013 I was going to suggest googling dead pool and see what's popular, but all I seem to get is some comic strip character... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,991 Posted August 2, 2013 If you Google "popular dead pools", here are the dead pools and semi-dead pools listed on page 1... Stiffs.com DeathList (okay, it's not exactly a dead pool but I'm still listing it) The Dead Pool (which a few of ours also partake in) The Mathu Party Page Dead Pool (in spite of not having updated since mid-2012!) Derby Dead Pool A Ranker "dead pool" page for 2012 where people could vote who they felt was most likely to die which is rather entertaining if only for the fact that John "dead since 1994" Candy is on that list KLAQ (not so much a dead pool anyone can enter as much as it is several folks from a radio station putting up their teams) Cash4Cadavers Also on the page are the Wikipedia page for dead pools a Yahoo article on "Top Celebrity Dead Pool Sites", which doesn't include us so screw 'em.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted August 2, 2013 The Dead Pool (which a few of ours also partake in) I didn't realise I was up in 3rd place! Mind you, I have no chance of winning it, Star Dust (presumably the same as our Star Dust) is pissing it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
