Which one do you mean? The Senator, the TV/radio presenter, the basketball player or another?

And one more question: If a celeb, born say 1. August 1950, kicks the bucket on 31. July 2010, do we score 41 or 40 points? - In other words, does the plain year of birth count, or do we take into account the number of years (arithmetically) fully lived?

Radar, who died and made you rule-keeper extraordinaire? Whoever it was, I bet they were on one of my lists!

That's just the way we've always done it. I mean if everyone wants to change it for next year, we could try to all hash that out.

It's age. On July 31, 2010, the celeb would be 59. 100 minus 59 equals 41 points.
