About F'ing time... The world is a better place this morning.
The former Libyan intelligence officer convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people has died, his brother said on Sunday. He was 59.
Abdel Basset al-Megrahi died at home after a long battle with cancer. His health had deteriorated quickly, his brother Abdulhakim told Reuters on Sunday.

Reuters is also reporting the death (based upon word of the family which I still have some difficulty with...). If he pops up alive again I'll amend the stats.
al-Megrahi was 60 (not 59 - the quoted report is incorrect) and a choice of 5 teams.
Krill (1): (171 - 1) + (100 - 60) = 210 points
OzzyKP (3): 208 pts
DaShi (5): 206 pts
OFITG (12): 199 pts
Wezil (17): 194 ptsLast edited by Wezil; May 20, 2012, 10:56."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Four teams predicted Mr. Gibb (aged 62) wouldn't be Stayin' Alive past 2012:
OFITG (1): (171 - 1) + (100 - 62) + 50 (Daily Double) = 258 points
ColdWizard (2): 207 points
Wezil (13): 246 points (Daily Double)
Bugs ****ing Bunny (14): 195 points
