Among the Living: It ain't over till the fat man sings

Pavarotti is laid to rest so that means that TomC has picked up 13 points.
The leaderboard is:
A-man 45 pts
'Door 18 pts
JadF 18 pts
TomC 13 pts



Still three months to go...

Among the Living: Another one bites the dust

Vale Lobby Loyde. A great Australian guitarist.

However, it means that JadF and I have got our first points in the deadpool competition. A 65 year old male gets 18 points.


It's quite a weird feeling hearing about someones death knowing that it will help you in your quest to win a competition.

Among the Living: Update 2

Here is another entry in the Dead Pool Competition. This one from TomC..
1) Fidel Castro: I WILL prove it. One way or another.
2) Charlton Heston. The son of God will not save him again.
3) Ariel Sharon. Possibly already dead but not certified yet.
4) Tony Bullimore. Not the sharpest tool in the shed that one.
5) Diego Maradona.
6) Hermann Maier. Austrian Ski Ace-rides his motorcycle and his skis too fast
7) Tony Curtis. Just because you would be devastated that your hero passed on.
8) Little Richard. The king of rock n roll.
9) Pavarotti. Would be a tragedy.
10) B.B. King.

Come on peoples.... there are some of you out there who said that they have done a list. Where is it???????

Among the Living

On the way up to the Hanging Rock races I was telling Miss Jade about the Dead Pool competition. I've seen different point scoring systems and I've decide to come up with my own and run a dead pool competition. So if you are interested here are the rules:
1. Pick 10 people who you think will die in 2007. You have until 14th January to put up your names.
2. The point scoring system is based on life expectancy data from the Human Mortality Database. I've looked at the data and come up with a scoring system based on your life expectancy at a certain age and how far short of it that person falls when they die. The scoring system is as follows:



For example: if the person dies at age 39 and is female, you get 45 points.

3. Who ever ends up with the most points wins.
4. Age is rounded down. So if a person is 43 years and 230 days, their age is taken as 43.

I'll think about my 10 names and put them up soon.
