The 2017 Dead PoolGOAL: Predict which notable* figures will die on/between January 1 and December 31, 2017, Eastern Time. Produce a maximum of 50 names, to be PM'ed to me (NOT posted here) before the ball drops in Times Square (NYC) at midnight on New Years (i.e., 12AM ET, January 1, 2017). The BB's default timestamp will determine entry time. *It's assumed that all notable figures will have an entry, or be mentioned in an entry, at Google, Wikipedia or another legit source which you may have to prove. Rules:1) PLEASE alphabetize your list of 50 names by LAST name (regardless of profession), either in the form of FIRSTNAME LASTNAME -or- LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, in *1* column of names. 2) If it's not obvious who the person is for most people, after the name please add why they're notable. For example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist" (Sorry, he's already dead). In addition, you may or may not choose to include the person's current age; for example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist (91)" 3) If you submit your list days before Midnight, January 1st, 2017, and someone on your list dies before 2017, you should substitute the person with another and resubmit your list (by the deadline). If you do not resubmit your list, and the person died in 2016, the person will obviously NOT count for 2017. 4) a) Thou Shalt Not Kill (anyone on your list); b) criminals subject to the Death Penalty or anyone kidnapped or held hostage in 2015 won't count -- unless they die of natural causes; c) "Dead" means permanently dead, not later revived, nor put in animated suspension, or any induced or natural coma starting before 2017 begins; d) do not edit Wikipedia with false death information. Everyone's lists will be updated unofficially throughout the year, but year-end audits should be performed to determine the final winner sometime shortly after December 31, 2017. YOU are responsible for your own audit at years' end.Prize: Bragging Rights for 12 months. Check out results from 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008The next post will contain all participants' lists for easy reference, sometime on Jan 1st
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! ![tongue tongue](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/tongue.gif) lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy?

Okay, being that it's XDCX's birthday, he needs some extra time -- so I'll give it to him. And hopefully SC will get over his freak-out that he "killed" so many last year. ![wink wink](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/wink.gif) And SV gets on the ball. ...so if any newbies want to get in, you still have some time to PM me your lists ASAP. NOTE: Anyone who dies before the lists are made public WILL COUNT for the lists I already have, but NOT for those I don't have.

Aaaaargh! Been so busy getting things ready for my January class (which starts tomorrow) that the really important stuff got put on the back burner.

Franklin Roosevelt used to tell a story, with himself as the implied punchline:
A Fat Cat would approach the same news stand every morning, give the guy a dime, pick up a newspaper, and look at the front page. Then he'd put the paper back down and walk away. Finally after a year of this the news stand guy asked, "Why do you just glance at the paper every day and then walk away?"
The Fat Cat answered, "I'm only interested in the obituaries."
The news guy said, "Obituaries? But you never open the paper!"
The Fat Cat explained, "Believe me, the S.O.B. I'm looking for will be on Page 1."
"All of these men were good listeners; patient men."
