I'm surprised there isn't a 27 club bonus (+27 points, obviously). Maybe next year.

Bubba who?
Multiple false death reports on the interwebs of late. This morning, it was singer Etta James -- who is, in fact, perfectly alive and well.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

The 27 Club rule is a great idea IMO.
I actually did a search on "Bubba" and "death" before I posted that, and came up empty. I guess it wasn't considered "news" by google.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Met him several times. Nice guy, very friendly, totally into the hair-metal rock'n'roll lifestyle.

WASHINGTON — The Libyan convicted in the 1988 bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, has been found in Tripoli and appears “at death’s door,” CNN reported Sunday.
CNN correspondent Nic Robertson said he found Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in what was described as a palatial house in an upmarket part of Tripoli, guarded by at least six security cameras and attended to by concerned relatives.
“He appears to be a shell of the man that he was, far sicker than he appeared before … at death’s door,” Robertson said of Megrahi, who returned to Libya two years ago after being released from a Scottish prison for health reasons.
