Notes - -jrabbit, Dinner and myself all lose a unique pick (Wouk, Ali and Graham, respectively)
Tariz Aziz is technically not eligible as he is under a death sentence however, as the death warrant hasn't been (and apparently won't be) signed by the Iraq President it is unlikely to be carried out. NOTE - There will be no points awarded for Tariq Aziz if he is executed.
One of your terrorists doesn't have a precise birth date listed (just 1963). Past practice has July 1st inserted when a precise date is unavailable.Last edited by Wezil; January 15, 2012, 11:21."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Fidel Castro, Kirk Douglas, BB King and Nelson Mandela are the only ones I've listed all 5 years.
I was sure Castro was on his deathbed when we started this thing. (Of course, it being Cuba, he could have died a couple years ago and they just decided not to upset the public...)
BB King was near death in 2000; I know it for a fact. He's one tough old dude.
I think I've only had Zsa Zsa this year and last. Now with 16 of us giving her Poly Protection, she could live to be 100...Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
