“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”

Another musician.  The incredible George Jones dies at 81.

Lena Horne


That sucks.  I love her voice.  Nobody does Cole Porter like her.

Nobody had Dr. Joyce Brothers.

I always thought she was Canadian... maybe because she was so polite... but nope... born in NYC.

2. Maggie Thatcher - Witch of the North, Guardian of the South Seas, Wagging finger of the East, Bum licker of the West. (Bitch) Ian M. Banks

Additional notes:
Once a celeb dies, the poster may then select another person into his pool (always keeping 25 persons on the board).  Any celeb who has become sick during 2008 cannot be used as an additional pick.  This new pick must be in the form a new post - no editing the original.
(2008 was only used here as an example.)

Is this allowed under the rules?
Iain M. Banks was diagnosed with cancer last month, and he didn't announce it until April.
Mod?

I've just spotted this now. What's the ruling? Do I keep him or do I have to change?

I don't mind changing as it would actually pain me a little to earn anything from his death. Sadsack, or what?  ::)

Sure pick anyone you want. If they are sick or old you get less points when they die.
