      I'm sorry to say that the Embalmer express contains one previously unique pick, namely Warren Buffet. He is also on Floyds' list. If he also was on his last year list, perhaps the judges should give him leniency?

      Here's the top three picks, based on the 13 early entries

      1) Fidel Castro 10
      2) ex equo: Billy Graham, Ariel Sharon, Margaret Thatcher 7 each
      honourary mention for Barack Obama with 6 picks, along with Kirk Douglas and Amy Winehouse.

        I do believe he is a carry over from my list on last year. However, I must have missed Courtney Love being a unique pick (I did quickly glance through the list) - if necessary I can pick another name. Just let me know.
        If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

          Good picks that I haven't picked up include Patrick Swayze, Peter O'Toole and Hosni Mubarak... Might want to remember them for next year in case they survive this one

                  He's not including accidental (?) poisoning attempts by Michelle. No one has told her that she's not next in line for the throne.

                    Courtney Love is your unique pick, so there is no problem there. Although I think for 'late' participants there is no 'unique pick bonus'. I'm not a referee on this, so don't take my word on it.

                    In any case, if one of your picks is ineligable, the first on your reserve list will be added instead. You can sit back and relax .

                      It doesn't look like anybody had him... which kind of surprises me... Found in another thread:
                      Patrick McGoohan, the Emmy-winning star of cult series The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.

                      He died in Los Angeles on Tuesday after a short illness, his son-in-law Cleve Landsberg confirmed.

                      Born in Astoria, New York, he won two Emmys for his work on the detective drama Colombo and was renowned to a new generation of fans as King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 film Braveheart.

                      But he is best known for the lead character in The Prisoner, labelled Number Six by his captors in a small seaside village from which he continually tried to escape.

                      As well as starring in the show, McGoohan also produced, directed and on occasion wrote the show, using the pseudonyms Paddy Fitz and Joseph Serf as well as his own name.
