OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

*snorts* I hope somebody got fired for that boner.

Yeti originally entered it in as "Frank Weller." (He later corrected it, but not until after "Weller" had already gotten into my other spreadsheet. I caught it and some other discrepancies later, but fucked up in correcting the record.)

We regret the error and those responsible have been sacked...

Bonus content: Dead Pool through the ages

9 years, 34 players, 666 "celebrities," 125 deaths

25 most popular picks 2010–2018

We should really just name this thing after Kirk Douglas...



Of 666 people picked since 2010, only four have been selected every single year...

Kirk Douglas (35 picks)
Jimmy Carter (22 picks)
Billy Graham (14 picks)
Nick Nolte (9 picks)*

*An annual PenFoe family tradition


Oldest, youngest and median picks 2010–2018

Ages have ranged from 1 year old (the cast of the Jersey Shore as a cast in 2010) to 111 years old (Richard Overton in 2017), with a median age of 75...




New vs. old picks 2010–2018

Roughly half of our picks each year are brand new...




Picks vs. deaths 2010–2017

And our kills are fairly steady at 15.625 per year...



But, after a two-year dip, our deaths-per-pick kill efficiency continues to improve...




Total points 2010–2017




Total kills 2010–2017




Points per kill 2010–2017

You guys should know the drill by now...

Quote from: J. Walter Weatherman on December 20, 2012, 12:05:20 PM
A recap on the scoring:

a) Rank your picks 1-10, with points awarded according to rank
b) One bonus point added for each decade under 90
c) One penalty point deducted for each person other than yourself who picked the same person
d) Each correct pick is guaranteed a minimum of 1 point, regardless of deductions
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of the year, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)

Submit picks by email by the end of 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016.
