Very impressed with @CAMJAY77 for having not only two wins, not only the highest amount of deaths in a year(he twice had 10), but also the two highest point totals in our 20 year history.
I’d love if anyone is willing to fill in our gaps on any of the years 2018-2022. @Baker or anyone else who is willing to go back?
Steve Wozniak is in the hospital in Mexico. Co-founder and real technology brains behind Apple computers.
Woz + Jobs was the perfect equation to create a successful computer company.
It’s being called a minor stroke.
Frank Borman at 95
Not a good month for astronauts
It was on the 7th and I looked back and didn’t see anything mentioned
And other than being an astronaut I was looking through his wiki article and saw this , if only there were more like him. That’s a role model there that the wanna be astronaut CEOs of today should follow.
Borman disliked aspects of American corporate culture, such as plush offices, luxury Cadillac and Mercedes company cars and a corporate jet for executives, while firing or furloughing employees.
After Borman became Eastern’s CEO, he saved the company $9 million annually in salaries by firing 81 middle managers and 31 vice presidents. He drove to work in a second-hand with an engine he rebuilt himself. He sold the Jetstar, and, as at North American, banned drinking on company time, which he considered also included lunchtime. The end of the [three-martini lunch came as a shock to many executives.
I once had a list with astronauts and cosmonauts. Not now of course.
I remember listening to Borman, Lovell, and Anders, on Christmas Eve, reading from the Bible. That was Apollo 8.
Australian singer Johnny Ruffo has died at 65 points.
Brain cancer. Poor bugger.
Damn, I’ve had him on my list for at least a couple years now. I’ve been checking Google for updates on his health for so long, I feel like I lost a friend.
Well, maybe that’s a bit over-the-top, but it still sucks. Way too young. And while I will welcome the points, I was still hoping he would somehow beat the cancer.
Nine players had Ruffo. It took a little work because his name was listed three ways. Two new folks got him, but the top of the list didn’t change much because the top six players all had him, kind of negating the value of getting all those points.
It’s time to check your lists to make sure I have listed points correctly.

I’m still in the Top 20! One more lucky death and I’m potentially a contender for top ten!
Okay, maybe two deaths.
From lunar orbit, too. 
AFAICT, this is my final list, and Ruffo’s on it:
Also, another poster messaged me about Ruffo. I was in error there. Ruffo was a strange one, because I had his name posted three ways, so somehow I left RTFirefly out. Here is the correction, and let me say I’m glad to have involved players that check up on me.

Totally useless info, but I went through my chart to figure out not who has the most points but who has the highest points divided by number of picks. That would be candide, who has 144 points with two picks.
And I, the DeathMistress, have the lowest score, being the only player who has a score less than 1. I have two picks but only one point, so my result is .5
[Cough] no points at fuckin’ all [cough]
I hate to be a pain in the neck (usually I aim lower 
) but I’m curious about RAL’s 29 points in addition to the 65 for Ruffo.
As RAL said just two days ago,
That second death from RAL’s list should have been noted somewhere, but I don’t see it.
It was noted on April 2. Sakamoto that is/
There is no Sakamoto on RAL’s list.
I think i was the only one with Sakamoto
That should give me two unique picks: Sakamoto and Rodion Amarov.
Looks like deja vu all over again - see posts 796 and 797 on April 3.
