    I have an errand to run. I'll update scores soon.

    • Three players chose Arthur C. Clarke: LordShiva (5), -Jrabbit (13) and embalmer42 (17).

      Mr. Clarke was 90.

      There were no bonuses.

      LordShiva -> 166 + 10 = 176 points
      -Jrabbit -> 158 + 10 = 168 points
      embalmer42 -> 154 + 10 = 164 points

      Drogue 171
      embalmer42 164

      -Jrabbit's Killing Spree has ended at 3

      -Jrabbit missed on the Grand Slam.

        • A healthy lead too. You need two stiffs or one with good bonus points to catch up.

          I on the other hand am contemplating recycling my 2008 list for the 2009 Dead Pool.

          • I keep waiting for a major explosion to occur on the set of ER. Maybe on the final day of taping...

            Then we can watch Perfection try to maintain he had nothing to do with it.

            • Actor Richard Widmark dies at 93


              Widmark made more than 70 films between 1947 and 1992
              Hollywood star Richard Widmark has died at the age of 93 after a long illness, his wife has announced.

              The prolific actor, who often portrayed killers and gunslingers, made a memorable big-screen debut in 1947 as a giggling psychopath in Kiss of Death.

              He went on to star in such 50s classics as Night and the City, Pickup on South Street and the western Broken Lance.

              The craggy-faced actor died at his home in Connecticut on Monday, according to his wife Susan Blanchard.

                • Have you ever thought about how, given enough time, every imaginable dead pool - including this one - would tend toward ending in a dead heat?

                        The leader at the Derby Deadpool has 9 out of 20 already.

                        We really suck at this.

                        • Yep... and I think as you mentioned earlier, I can probably dust off this years list to use next year as well since none of my picks have passed on yet...

                          • Only 5 of our 15 players have scored points.

                            In all fairness to us and our suckiness, the Derby pool does have a couple hundred players...
