We have another scorer! **Sapphyre Rose** takes the lead with 26 points on the death of Fred Rogers (“Mr. Rogers’s Neighborhood”) at age 74. Congratulations, **Sapphyre Rose**! ---

Based on my list, I am either going to take last or set an all-time high scoring record for this game. ---

Just a quick post to check the scoreboard. As of April 1st, the scoreboard reads: **Sapphyre Rose** - 26 points **Tuckerfan** - 14 points Nobody picked Sen. Moynihan or comedian George Miller. Of course, we are waiting to hear whether Saddam has been killed; I think 19 people picked him. So if he _is_ dead, we’ll have a 19-way tie for 1st place. 😃 _And_ there will be much rejoicing. _“Yeaaaaaaa!”_ ---

It’s April and I’m still scoreless. I even forgot who I picked. I think I’ll go back and check it out. ---

That’s a handy list Santos - but I see you have beckwall’s three invalid picks listed (Haley Joel Osmet and the Olsen twins). Might be confusing if something horrendous did happen to any of the three. ---

Point taken, **cazzle**. I’ll remove them. **Ryan\_Liam** lists Lisa Simpson, I assume meaning Yeardley Smith, who does the character’s voice on the Simpsons? He also has Frankie Muniz, who doesn’t turn 18 until December 5th. I guess he’s a valid pick, as long as he holds out until then. 🙂 He also had another choice that I omitted - “Most terrorists” :rolleyes: Eric ---

I also notice that **WSLer** has been banned. Is he still eligible to participate in the game? Eric ---
