Ed Koch, three-time mayor of New York City and famous for asking, "How am I doing?", knows the answer to that question at last.

Ed Koch was a great man and a great mayor. Rare among politicians, he wasn't afraid to speak his mind regardless of who might think differently. Some of his one-liners will live in infamy, such as his advice about not flushing toilets during the drought of the early 1980s: "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."

Yes, he had his faults, but which of us doesn't? His administration had its scandals, but which administration doesn't?

Rest in peace, Mr. Mayor.

That's six points for Gwai.

A bit more analysis of our picks:

Of the 268 nominees 119 are from Europe, 111 from North America and 19 from Asia.

104 are from the USA and 101 from the UK.

61 are famous for music, there are 60 politicians, 49 actors, 18 sportsmen/women, 13 royalty and 12 comedians.

I doubt if anyone had Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL sniper who had more kills to his credit than any other. I respectfully submit, however, that the manner of his death (shot to death) goes toward proving the existence of God.

No. It just goes to show that the only thing that can stop a good guy with a gun is a bad guy with a gun.

Of the nine people who went for him seven were specific to the soon to be former Holy Father but two attempted to hedge slightly by just saying "The P***". If the new man (or woman) dies this year while still in office a decision will have to be made. If this happens and another P*** is elected and dies then will these two competitors be able to score twice for the same choice?

My opinion is irrelevant, but I'd say that they score every time a p*** dies while still the p***, but do not score if Ratzinger dies while not the p***.

I had him on my list as "Pope Benedict XVI"; wouldn't he still have that title, as there won't be another with the same name and number?

Having said that, I wish him a long and happy retirement.

Ronald Dworkin, one of the most important legal and political philosophers of his generation, died Thursday. I'm pretty sure nobody had him, but, having interpreted this community's comprehensive norms and ethos in the best possible way, it seems as if such a constructive interpretation would demand that I post a notice of his death.

Sad news about Richard Briers. He was an excellent actor - he had his own style, and it is not for everyone, but he was good.

AND he got to snog Felicity Kendal. What more could you ask for in life?

My favourite quote from Richard Briers was after a damning review of his Hamlet: Briers replied that "I may not have been the best, but I was definitely one of the fastest".

A remarkable man. But actually he was the Laker's owner rather than coach. He had the brains to hire fantastic coaches and players, and hired a young, unknown Paula Abdul to dance with and choreograph for the Laker Girls. [Big Grin]
