An amazingly random pick? I, for one, suspect “foul play”, and a possible violation of rule #7: > Blockquote 7. Any poster who kills or otherwise contributes to the death of any celebrity mentioned in this thread is disqualified. It’s just a game, people. The only exceptions to this rule would be deaths caused by those posters serving as members of the police or armed forces of any country, in the line of duty.
