Anyone playing in a celebrity dead pool this year?

Post Reply New Topic

Just curious since I'm doing one on another forum. Basically for anyone not familiar with dead pools, you select a specified number of famous people at the start of a year and you get 1 point for every one that kicks the bucket that year, and the participant who scores the most wins!

For the one I'm playing in the quota of names is 10, and there is a special condition that at least 2 must be under the age of 40 as the year starts (and if one of them goes, it's worth bonus points). So here are my picks:

1. Lindsay Lohan (July 2 1986), actress/singer
2. Amy Winehouse (September 14 1983), singer
3. Britney Spears (December 2 1981), singer
4. Suharto, former head of state (critically ill, failing organs)
5. Billy Graham, evangelist (cancer and Parkinson's)
6. Ariel Sharon, former head of state (PVS)
7. Walter Cronkite, journalist/anchor
8. Henry Kissinger, retired politician
9. Nancy Reagan, former first lady
10. Edna Parker, current oldest person in the world

Think I've got much of a chance?
