Well, it’s just that you wouldn’t score any points.

[lieu]

book, a score’s derived by subtracting a person’s age from 100. Therefore, even if Strom did die you’d get zero zip zippity nada points. If Miss Spears croaks, you’d garner 79.

1. Karol Joseph Wojtyla, aka John Paul II, Pope
2. James Watson, scientist
3. Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr, Beatle
