Yep, he’s finally [joined the choir eternal](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/world/middleeast/ariel-sharon-fierce-defender-of-a-strong-israel-dies-at-85.html), and given a couple dozen Death Pool players 15 points each. I was starting to think we were doing a little too well at keeping people alive. 🙂 > [@Nancarrow](#): > > Yeah, guess what my next website visit was after seeing that article. > > And I’ve never even PLAYED, I just watch you guys. I was like that last year. Don’t worry, you’ll get sucked in one of these years, just like I finally did. Even if I don’t have any points so far, it’s kinda nice to have some skin in the game. ---
