Unique seems the trend on both lists. To put it the way **kunilou** did but more Laugh-In styled accent ------- very interesting. ---

Dammit! I made [my list](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20693617&postcount=126) (in the other thread) based on several lists of oldest actors, and for some reason Ms. Sawyer wasn’t on the ones I used. ---

I’m not sure anyone is paying much attention to the themed lists, but I did have Billy Graham. One point may make a difference, y’know! ---

Tell me about it… so many sports world deaths so far this year but none of them on my theme list! I did get points for Stephen Hawking in my non-themed list though. ---

Neither of mine seem to be doing well; the people on them are doing very well thank you. Too damn well. But its like that for me most years. 😉 ---
