It's only been a couple weeks since the last bereavement update, but there's been a lot of action. Most notably, the beautiful and talented Patrick Swayze; also Gertrude Baines, the world's oldest person; and Myles Brand, the president of the NCAA and the man responsible for firing Bob Knight at IU. Swayze and Brand both died of pancreatic cancer.

I have just recently discovered Point Break, and I think it's one of the best bad movies of all-time. Myles Brand has been one of the most important and influential men in college sports the past decade. Gertrude Baines loved Jesus and "never did fool around." 

13 of the 21 entrants had Patrick Swayze, tying him with Fidel Castro as the second-most popular choice behind Ted Kennedy (14). (EDITED. THX BRIAN B) He was worth 68 points, Brand 58 and Baines, a 115-year-old woman but a unique pick, 35. As always, if I left someone off or made an adding error, let me know.

1. Brian B: 331 points (Michael Jackson, Jack Kemp, Millvina Dean, Ted Kennedy, Robert Novak, Les Paul)
2. boobs' mom: 302 points (Farrah Fawcett, Karl Malden, Ted Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Walter Cronkite, Patrick Swayze)

4. Petey Hendrix: 277 points (Dom DeLuise, Karl Malden, Ted Kennedy, Patrick Swayze, Myles Brand)
5. Red Menace: 274 points (Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Ted Kennedy, Robert Novak, Sir Bobby Robson, Patrick Swayze)
6. Cesar Hernandez: 267 points (Michael Jackson, Dom DiMaggio, Walter Cronkite, Patrick Swayze, Myles Brand)
7. Brian B's wife: 249 points (Paul Harvey, Karl Malden, Ted Kennedy, Robert Novak, Patrick Swayze)
7. boobs' coworker Steve: 249 points (Karl Malden, Ted Kennedy, Robert Novak, Patrick Swayze, Myles Brand)
