The Odds Son in Oddsson

 Note the following in regards to a notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site:

• Lorraine Bayly (16 Jan 1937 – 28 Feb 2026) actress (The Sullivans, Carson's Law…)
• Davíð Oddsson (17 January 1948 – 1 March 2026)  78, Icelandic  prime minister
• Bo Gritz (January 18, 1939 – February 27, 2026) politician, inspiration for John Rambo
• Karlen G. Adamyan (19 January 1937 – 28 February 2026) 89, Armenian cardiologist
• Larry Kump (Jan 27, 1948 – Feb 28, 2026) memberWest Virginia House of Delegates

Now THAT’s an eyeopener— within 3 days, 5 notable persons who passed away generate a cluster with their birthdays:  “January 16, 17, 18, 19, __, …, 27/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  

When you consider that many of my family members are born in January: 

January 15 (my son and my ex-partner of 27 years); January 19 (my brother), January 21 ( my daughter); January 23 (my grandson); January 8 (my step son), and so the cluster expands:

 “January 8, …, __,15(x2), 16, 17, 18, 19(x2), __, 21, __, 23, __, …, 27/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster. 

As for Oddsson… such an “audd” name, … and it’s a minor detail, butt he was born and died on “odd” days!!  AND that he was PM of Iceland (do note the addition to the recent “ICE Theme” pattern cluster .  On venturing to his wiki page, I discover that the incumbent PM’s name is also an addition to the  “ICE Theme” pattern cluster, via the “Word in Name” pattern cluster … that provides us with “frost”: 

Kristrún Mjöll Frostadóttir (born 12 May 1988) incumbent Prime Minister

Other Icelandic PM’s who stand out from the  List of officeholders: 

• Hannes Þórður Pétursson Hafstein (4 December 1861 – 13 December 1922)
• Hermann Jónasson (25 December 1896 – 22 January 1976) 
• Björn Þórðarson (6 February 1879 – 25 October 1963)
• Ólafur Jóhannesson (1 March 1913 – 20 May 1984) twice the Prime Minister of Iceland 

I won’t bother explaining the significance of the dates : December 13 and October 25, when you can simply key the two dates into this blogs search box and find out for yourself— its a good exercise.
