Cute. You invent time travel and I will include it in the post.

On a more serious note; I think it's significant for a few reasons:

  1. respect and memory of those lost
  2. a reminder that death is still around. Car accidents happen, as do medical conditions causing death. Soon that will not, it's a hope for the future that it comes sooner and there are no longer deaths of notable people.

I don't invent time travel for another 60 years. But I will get back to you in 2075.

On a more serious note, I wasn't wanting the deaths removed, just balanced.

Couldn't we get a precommitment from you to bring it back to 12/16/2015 once you have it?

balanced now with notable births 100 years ago. :)
