Also, I've tried to be meticulous, but please let me know if you see an error on the spreadsheet.

Queen of Soul gets last laugh on ILX

I am only on the spreadsheet 12x...?

You're right -- thanks for catching that.

Actually, it looks like a few names at the beginning of the alphabet were accidentally deleted:

Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi
Abe Vigoda
Amy Winehouse

(You just happened to pick all three of them.)

This also means that Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi should've appeared on the "most-picked" list, with six players selecting him.

Dag, missed the deadline again.

Actually, it looks like a few names at the beginning of the alphabet were accidentally deleted:

A few others as well. But I think I've got it all back to normal now.

Cheers jaymc.

My immediate reaction was "arrrgh FUCK!" followed by a pretty instantaneous and much greater "Holy shit, dude, how could you think that?"

is this what ILX DP does to you?

Huh. I thought it was at stage IV, which indicates that it had metastacized. Shit, I'll be happy as hell if Michael Douglas doesn't die this year. I just thought he was a sure thing.

metastasized

Just found out Cloris Leachman is not dead! Oh my god I am so happy.

he may make it into next year or even 2013, but it's rare to really "cure" stage 4 cancer.

David Nelson. All members of the Ozzie & Harriett family are now gone.

Since that's not strictly Dead Pool content (it doesn't look like anyone picked him), I've started a new thread:

Rolling RIP/obituary thread - 2011 edition

You know who I hope makes it through this year so i can remember to pick him next year? Eddie Furlong.

A bunch of people are about to get 6 points.

?

oh, I'm just guessing, but zsa zsa was rushed to the hospital spitting blood.

Oh. Would be 7 points, at any rate. (Her birthday's on Sunday.)

Jobs dying again

And sarahel takes the lead...

can't believe that Taylor Momsen is still alive.

Yeah, why didn't I pick Elizabeth Taylor? No one knows.

seriously none of you death geniuses picked osama?
