Somebody better go find that girl, the one they called IE+. I feel the honour of writing his dreaded headline should go to her.
After the affair he put that in his will, so the rumour goes.

"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

Yep, I concure. A sad day! Claude Lévi-Strauss was the greatest anthropologist I removed totally from my 2008 list of 50 names, only to religate him into my 2009 "68 name" list. Doh.
Mine's a lemonade!

Does he get a cookie for being a smart old Jew? Looks like plenty are dropping at the end of the year.

There's a thread somewhere on the forum that a lot of puns were posted for the various 'candidates'. Buggered if I can find it now.
This is true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

His deathdate should be corrected, it's actually October 30th not November 3rd.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Claude Lévi-Strauss for the first time, when he's not around. Quite a funny feeling. A sad feeling. And he won't be here at deathlist.net anymore either in the future. I will surely miss coming to this website every year at November 28 to celebrate this great anthropologist. This had become almost a ritual for me, but now an era has ended, though I will remember him in great many other ways than at this website. Thanks for some exciting debates throughout the years and good luck with your scores next year!

What about the 'details-to-follow' on the frontpage? Are we waiting for CLS to come back? That should have happened within three days, me thinks, so I doubt it will ever occur...
