Death Race 2011 (Warning: WRONG)

I heard they were going to put one of those LED lights on his tomb stone.

I heard pancreatic cancer is diagnosed late because it usually shows symptoms in it's late stages so it has a high mortality rate.

Usually true, but in his case it was caught super early. If he'd decided to undergo treatment when they first discovered it then the expected survival rate is over a decade.

Instead he tried to treat it with some hippie fruit juice diet. By the time he realized that there have been no peer-reviewed double-blind studies to verify the efficacy of hippyism, months had gone by and the disease had progressed to the point that it could no longer be treated effectively.

Oh, someone told me that he was trying to do homeopathic thing, I thought he just went the Andy Kaufman route. But I didn't know they caught it early enough to have a chance to treat it properly. That's pretty horrible then.....

I heard they were going to put one of those LED lights on his tomb stone.

Or a super-sized iPad, hmmm... I wonder if he was able to design his tomb stone? That would be a site to see....

8 points here for Lil' Kim.

Shit, although Kim Jong Il was a crazy bastard, I don't think he wanted to actually start a nuclear war. Now that his racist son is in power, I believe us west coasters should enjoy our lives more.

Also, I'm not worried about North Korea invading South Korea for several reasons:

6. Most of their military tech is from the 50's
7. All the USA+Friends has to do is make it into a stalemate, then a war of attrition. Then we wait 20 years for China to become bankrupt.

I was thinking that it was like those LED lights on electronic devices.

The light is on when the power is off.

I think Apple started that stupidity.
And congrats to Ham

8 points here for Lil' Kim.

Same here.

[stubby]

Me too, except it's not clear whether he's worth 7 or 8 points due to some ambiguity about his birthdate.

[Tzan]

CNN is saying he was 69.

[Ham701]

CNN's too biased. What does BBC say?

[RoC77]

His children Kim Sul-song, Kim Jong-nam, Kim Jong-chul, & Kim Jong-un Are on my list for next, there can be only one!

[Ross_Varn]

Isn't this son the third one or something?

Time to start making a list of people's scores. It would be helpful if you just posted your scores and how you got them and I'll gather them into a list, 'cos I probably don't have the time right now. Also a creepy banner for the winner would be cool. So far:

Edit: made the list. Since we suck at this game it didn't take that much time. It's still up for debate whether GoD's simply quoting of dilanski counts as a guess to decide whether Gadaffi is a unique pick. Personally I don't think it does because while dilanski's list had pretty much just Gadaffi GoD made no effort to make a list at all. But I'm not sure. At the very least I believe we can all agree he was murdered. Anyway, thus far:

1. dilanski - Muammar Gadaffi (8+3+3x2 *Unnatural causes* *Joker* *Unique Pick*) - 28

2. Natalya - Steve Jobs (+9) Walter Breuning (+6 *Unique pick*) + Mississippi Winn (+6 *Unique pick*) + Eunice Sanborn (+6 *Unique pick*) - 27

3. stubby Kim Jong Il (+8) + Steve Jobs (+9) - 17

4. Roc77 Peter Falk (+9) + Kim Jong Il (+8) - 17 (A tie with stubby, but stubby's average age is lower)

5. Warhead - Kim Jong-il (8) + Harry Morgan (8 *Unique*) - 16

6. Lt. Krus - Kim Jong Il (16 *Joker*) - 16 (A tie with Warhead, but Warhead has more correct guesses)

7. aoffan23 - Osama Bin Laden (12 *Unnatural cause*) Total 12 //// Myself - Osama Bin Laden (12 *Unnatural cause*) - 12

8. Arkbrik - Kim Jong Il (8) ///// Ham - Kim Jong Il (8) - 8

9. Elmagnifico - 0

Don't hesitate to tell me if I've missed something, like bonus points for something or whatever.

[Natalya]

I have at least 21 points right now I need to check if some people on my list died.

*EDIT*
Got one more and I just didnt notice. I have 27 points so far.

[Ross_Varn]

You know, I was quite skeptical of this thread at the beginning of the year. Now it seems... oddly appropriate.

COME ON, STILL THREE DAYS LEFT.
