She may have been Mrs. Cleaver, but she had (in later years) the chutzpah to do this scene (which brought down the house, as I recall).

Umm. The rules say that you can't pick anyone under 18. I assume that there'd have to be a conversion from octopus years to human ones, but I don't know what the formula would be.
Fortunately, nobody picked Paul. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Here's one from the site that sends its subject off in style.

You will remember that the point of this thread is to report well-known people who die during 2010 as these are likely to be of interest to people playing the Celebrity Death Pool game. The OP clearly states that 13 well-known people have to be chosen, so even Shergar doesn't count.

I get *one* hit, and end up on the leaderboard? This doesn't feel right ![[Biased]](wink.gif) . I was just hoping to not get skunked.
And, more or less what Timothy said. Elizabeth Edwards was a smart and brave woman and deserved a better husband. May light perpetual shine upon her.

I think the Death Pool has been a blessing for celebrity longevity this year- knock wood. Lots of entrants have no deaths, some have one death, and less than a handful have two deaths. People on our lists are a pretty healthy lot this year.

Described as "one of the most original recording artists of his time", which is a bit of an understatement. What do you expect from a musician who, by his own admission, couldn't play keyboards! Composition was always likely to be novel.

As EPR points out, Uriel and Gwai tied with 81 points each. They also share the Quantity not Quality award, with two hits (so to speak) each.
The Inside Track award went to Woderwick.
Here are the top 10:
Uriel 81
Gwai 81
duchess 58
Cottontail 42
Campbellite 39
Amazing Grace 39
Lyda*Rose 39
Mamacita 39
ebeth 39
Timothy the Obscure 26
81 points is the lowest winning total since I've been tracking the pool.
