Picking people with terminal illnesses is against the spirit of the Death Pool, punk.

Elvis Costello wrote a vicious song about this moment back in the 80's.

His people reported that he was completely cured with the treatment he received in Cuba. Anyways that's like saying you can't pick anyone old.

Congrats to GreatGreg and P.Tiddy. 14 points apiece.

Lol
Cheering and congratulating one another over another human being's death? If there is a god, he frowns upon you guys.







Not that it matters because there isn't a god.

Someone needs to send anthrax to Linsey Lohan asap.. im sure shell open the envelope and sniff it, accruing ZeN and rufus some major pointage.

[Jasi]

Priebke got out of our way.

42 points for rufuspaul


oh...looks like Rufus got this wrapped up

[rufuspaul]

Well we still got a month left and I might be disqualified for picking a guy that was sick. My defense is that Chavez came back to Venezuela claiming to have been cured of his illness while in Cuba.

[mlh1981]

Surprised more people didn't pick the man in my avy, as he turns 90 here soon. Pretty healthy for his age, though.
