Phantom 2,534 Posted March 3, 2016 Finally some points on the DDP Yup, my joker as well. I know I'm sharing points with many people, but at least it gets me somewhere in the middle of the table. I've been kicking myself with so many missed opportunities that were on my long list, but second guessed myself in putting them in the final 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted March 3, 2016 Martin Crowe ct Cancer b Over EDIT: Cut me a little slack, I know you don't catch cancer. Well, actually, you can. You just have to be a bit unlucky. And you have to cut your finger during surgery. A 32-year-old man underwent emergency surgery to remove a malignant fibrous histiocytoma from his abdomen and died shortly thereafter of postoperative complications. During the operation the 53-year-old surgeon injured the palm of his left hand while placing a drain. The lesion was immediately disinfected and dressed. Five months later, the surgeon consulted a hand specialist because of a hard, circumscribed, tumor-like swelling, 3.0 cm (1.2 in.) in diameter, in his left palm at the base of the middle finger, where he had been injured during the operation. (...) Histologic examination revealed that it was a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. (...) [T]he sarcomas in the unrelated patient and surgeon were genetically identical. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199611143352004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 3, 2016 RIP, Mr. Crowe... I guess there's quite an avalanche coming up, with Feek not far behind... My DDP theme team was only able to get into the lead again because Feek and Crowe lasted far longer than most people anticipated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted March 3, 2016 Reality check, the internationally famous Crowe wasn't available for RDP selection Paul Daniels remains so Anyone able to explain that to me. I get that neither of them mean much in the USA but surely Crowe outranks Daniels as a notable sort in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody expects Zsa Zsa to make it to December, you'll understand in a year or two when the Prinz is still keeping her life support on.. I'm not convinced. Zsa Zsa obviously has reached the end of her life, even if she enjoys a kind of cult status for some of us, she`s finally only a human being in a pitiful health-state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But according to the poll, I was the only one. Zsa Zsa is a professional survivor (strokes, amputation, grave health crises). And all she had was an infection vs terminal cancer that should've killed Crowe by the end of 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 4, 2016 Crowe used cannabis oil to deal with the pain: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-3475982/New-Zealand-cricket-legend-Martin-Crowe-used-liquid-marijuana-deal-pain-cancer-death.html Yes, he survived a couple of months longer than he "should" have, but they weren't good months.

CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted March 4, 2016 Reality check, the internationally famous Crowe wasn't available for RDP selection Paul Daniels remains so Anyone able to explain that to me. I get that neither of them mean much in the USA but surely Crowe outranks Daniels as a notable sort in general. Paul Daniels had a show on the BBC and is a magician and their are Anglophiles and Magic fanatics in every spot of the globe. Whereas no matter how accomplished as Crowe is in cricket if you don't live in a cricket following nation I don't think 99.9% of people could identify someone in the sport even if they were the Pele or Babe Ruth level of it. In general I think RDP seem to have limited amount of choices for sportpeople. Way more people in the world follow football,wrestling and autosports and their selections for names in those fields seem to be pretty narrow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
