But I appreciate you saying something, anyway.
Remembering the suggestion to create a new award: The Power of Immortality Award (PIA). This post is copy&pasted from the 2025 Death Pool, where Biotop suggested it in february. It is problematic, of course, when the immortals chosen are nasty people one would rather not like to see live longer, but the suggestion as such is not bad IMO.

Luboslav “Lubo” Penev, Bulgarian football star
Ronnie Coleman, body builder, 8 times Mr. Olympia in a row
