The Rebel Forum/Go Actuary 2025 Celebrity Death Pool

The guy that wrote Linda Nolan’s obit in The Guardian died in 2019. I guess they’ve had that one on the shelf for a while.

I wonder how many more by-lines he has in him?

Esther Rantzen and James Whale perhaps?

Called it. Too bad I only had her in 1/3 contests

Geneviève Callerot: DEAD!

Ms. Callerot was a French novelist and farmer. During World War II, with her father and sister, she assisted more than 200 people in passing the demarcation line from the occupied French territory to the Zone libre, the unoccupied territory of Vichy France. In 2018, at the age of 102, Callerot became a member of the Legion of Honour. She resisted death for another six year but succumbed on January 16 at the age of 108.

Your boy is tied for 10th right now in DDP. Everyone ahead of me hit their joker already. I have not, sitting on Theo Burrell as my joker. She’d be a big hit for me if she dies with 26 points at stake.

He’s been dead to MLB owners for over 30 years.

I came by to see if anyone picked Elon Musk. I feel like his mortality risk just increased a lot.

I thought about that over the weekend. I agree, it probably went up, but from whatever his baseline was to say 10x that - which is to say, “very little chance at all.”

The next couple of years? He might want to worry a hell of a lot about his assassination coordinates, because I think more than one someone goes looking for them.

Fortunately he has the resources to buy a Secret Service or two.

Musk’s security isn’t anything like the Secret Service and never will be.

Well, they are tasked with protecting the leader of the country…
