Huh, I thought he died years ago.
RollOutTheBarrel gets on the board for Ted.

Anyone else hearing unconfirmed reports that the Unabomber committed suicide? He was very ill I believe.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I haven’t heard any rumors. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, it will ensure him his spot in Hell.
It’s been reported that this is the prevailing theory.
Maybe he really was bummed about Pat Robertson’s death.
It is worth pointing out that Kacynski’s father killed himself when he received a terminal lung cancer diagnosis. Ted was very ill, I think terminally so, as well.
We all joke about what would happen if a serial killer was found who had our name, like if we had been named Jeffrey Dahmer.
I’m not kidding, this is what happened to the husband of one of my Mom’s co-workers.
His name, and not a single letter was different, is:
Ted Kaczynski
I remember when the Unabomber was caught; my Mom was talking about it because this poor husband-of-her-friend was realizing his name just became infamous.
Still, what an uncommon name to become famous for the wrong reason.
Sorta like Joel Rifkin.
I had an uncle named Gary Cooper.
Well, on one list I have a Nobel Prize winner, but it;s not that one.
Fourteen points for me!
Not a bad start, though a bit of a late one.
Don’t rub it in.

Aside from my rookie Death Pool season when I went 0-for-2014, this is easily the latest in the year that I’ve been scoreless.
I went to December one year and then, I think, Chris Hitchens and Kim Jon Il both died, two days apart. Not enough to put me high on the list, but I went from zero deaths to two.
Me too! Do we have anyone in common on our lists? We should focus our evil intentions.
Looks like we’ve both got Andy Taylor of Duran Duran. Stage 4 prostate cancer.
As I have mentioned before I once got on the board on December 27, for Benazir Bhutto. I am on this year’s board but have no points, just a unique pick.
Who died 100 or older? I see Normal Lear will be turning 101 in a month or so, God willing.
