Boo-yeah! Nailing at least one a month so far.
Hans Holzer , who wrote over 100 books on paranormal subjects, has died at the age of 89.
Heh heh heh…Sublight’s been nailing dead people
I don’t know why he wasn’t on my list. I know I considered him. He was right in my fat celebrity strategy.
Finally someone on my list kicks it! Oops, I mean, so sad.
Hey, he’s on my list too! Thanks, Dom.
SCHWEEEEEEEET!
Thanks, Dom!

I almost picked Dom and then changed my mind. Everyone I put on my list continues to live and those I don’t pick die. I don’t think I can handle this sort of responsibility anymore.
Your kinda like the Grim Reaper’s Younger Brother. You know the one who rode the short bus.
Get a grip, man. There is potential profit here; sort of like an insurance company.
Points for seven players, five of whom are breaking their 2009 duck (if you don’t understand that, it’s a cricketing term). No changes to the top 10.
**Duck: ** a batsman’s score of nought (zero), as in “he was out for a duck” or “she hasn’t got off her duck yet”. Originally called a “duck’s egg” because of the “0” shape in the scorebook

Marilyn French , the feminist writer who gained fame for her 1977 novel The Women’s Room , has died at the age of 79. French’s last novel, The Love Children , is set to be published this fall.
Robert Maudsley appears to be circling the drain.
Though, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard these reports, I can remain cautiously optimistic for pointage again.
They were alive when I started. Where they go from there ain’t my responsibility.
Golf legend Seve Ballesteros says he is “recovered 90%” and is hitting golf balls again after undergoing extensive treatment for a brain tumour.
Great news for Seve Ballesteros and for the world of golf. Bad news for my score.
(It’s posts like this that made MrWhatsit disavow any participation with the Death Pool. Party pooper.)
