The 6th death of 2016

[Deadpool 166]

my vote goes for Herman Wouk... he 's the next

[time 8,616]

Bush.That's where the pin landed.

[rockhopper penguin 2,265]

Toast stole my Pirsig joke so I've gone for Campbell as he's Gentle on my Mind.

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

I voted Jimmy Carter and I will until the day he dies even if he isn't on the list?

[Deadpool 166]

anyways it's nice to wake up an see the list going forward with his "victims"

[paulh85 101]

Old Vera

[Scraggy Taters 290]

I voted for Liz Smith, only because nobody else has voted for her & she's British and erm.. she's very old.

[RIP Wee Jum 1,559]

John Noakes gets a bit of loving this time

[ImNotHades 207]

 

I don't even know who the 5th one is, never heard of him but this time I voted for Chirac......

 

Quick question....is 5 hits a lot for 2 and a half months or is this normal here or were there more hits in the past in 3 months?

You beat me to it. I voted for Chirac as well, simply because I haven't picked him before.

 

5 hits is really quite good inded but I will let our detailed number crunchers give you more insight as to where we are compared to this time in previous years.

 

I did some stats somewhere once myself about our average hit rate percentages that you can probably find if you search for it.

 

Exactly why I voted for him, too. At least none of my previous picks are dead yet either.

 

Thanks for the info. Let's see if this year will be a record one.

[JR976evil 906]

rBG

Is that a cousin of the BFG?

 

I went for Clive James, meaning it won't be him

[thesquawkingdead1exparrot 2]

its been a busy day with frank sinatra jnr and paul daniels clogging it on the same day as cliff, this time il stick with zsa zsa seems to be all the men clocking out

[Bibliogryphon 9,586]

Jimmy Greaves

[Pistol Knight 49]

Peter Sallis for me. Saw him last year in a meet and greet session, and he looked pretty frail then.

[gcreptile 10,978]

Jake Lamotta

[Spade_Cooley 9,535]

Gonna pick Carrington until he goes I think.

[Fergie86 376]

Zsa Zsa until the day the Prinz lets her die.

[Eesti 151]

Zsa Zsa so she could live.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Gonna pick Carrington until he goes I think.

Don't pick him this time. It's unlikely two hits in a row will be British men born in 1919.

[Perfect Passing 277]

Vera Lynn for a change.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Just realized:

 

First hit #11.

Then up to #38.

Then down to #1.

Then up to #14.

Then up to #40.

 

14-11=3

40-38=2

X-1=1

X=2

 

It shall be Zsa Zsa.

(Probably not)

[En Passant 3,741]

 

Gonna pick Carrington until he goes I think.

Don't pick him this time. It's unlikely two hits in a row will be British men born in 1919.

 

Even more unlikely I'll get a second hit in a row, so Leslie Phillips is safe for now.

[deadsox 894]

The Thai king will thai one on.

[ITDY 20]

Bhumibol Adulyadej .......again. Jeez, just kick the bucket already so I can pick someone else!

[RadGuy 1,614]

Just realized:

 

First hit #11.

Then up to #38.

Then down to #1.

Then up to #14.

Then up to #40.

 

14-11=3

40-38=2

X-1=1

X=2

 

It shall be Zsa Zsa.

(Probably not)

Another pattern:

 

January 26th

February 16th

March 6th (let's ignore Crowe)

March 16th

 

So soon we shall have

March 26th

April 16th

May 6th

 

...

Probably not.

[TomTomTelekom 3,728]
