Welcome to the Straight Dope gtalley2. Is the entry meant for the 2012 edition of the Death Pool? In which case, it may be the first one. You may have really slow internet service if it’s meant for 2011. Check with your ISP. (Actually about par if it’s AT&T). ---

I was just wondering how many updates we’ll get on his current health status if he’s locked in his house for five months with no media contact - will he be released in time to update us on how his new liver is fitting before 2012 entries close?
