This is the reason I buy Lucky Dip lottery tickets - I'd hate to play the same numbers regularly, and then miss it one week - and find they'd WON!
So I can't really abandon my staples - they'd cark in 2011 just to spite me. The main exception is Clive Dunn, as he is apparently going to live forever.

Ronnie Biggs
Fidel Castro
Margaret Thatcher
Patrick Moore
Mickey Rooney
Kim Jong-Il
Nancy Reagan
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Kirk Douglas
Betty Ford
More points for Sundae!

Yeah, but Sundae's points are metric, so doesn't that convert to like 47 or something?

Did anyone have Cheetah (who was not a cheetah but a chimpanzee?)

Cheetah, who starred in the Tarzan movies of the 30s, died Saturday from kidney failure. He was roughly 80 years old.

RIP Cheetah!
