No one of importance died on the 7th? What a farce! Stupid booster season. It's like the most current Ramadan Bomb-A-Thon. We should get titles and avatars as a reward for guessing the total number of deaths of some importance that happen before February 1st. We're at 63 so far while only hitting January 22nd. 9 days remaining until Feb 1st, so.... Mathematically, it'll be 89 total deaths if we follow the same ratio. But my vote is going to be for 88. Just to do the Kill Bill Crazy 88's reference.

Looks like neither of us are going to be right on guessing. January's over tomorrow, and we're lagging really far behind on deaths.
