Among the Living: Update

Regarding the dead pool competition that I am running. There has been questioning about betting on this. After much consideration (5 seconds) I think that $10 per entry (one entry per person) winner takes all sounds OK. Last entries on monday.

Happy to pay, so keep my original list.

I tried to get a dead pool going at work a few years ago and was met with horror by quite a few people. ???????

Do I get until the end of the day? I'm still working on my list...

'Door said...

I'll compile the lists in a few days. I will take entries later in the week.

Ailing politicians...
1. Fidel Castro
2. Ariel Sharon

Self-destructing celebrities...
3. Pete Doherty
4. Anna Nicole Smith
5. Whitney Houston
6. Nicole Ritchie

Will the champ still be here in 2008?
7. Muhammad Ali

Elderly American actors...
8. Kirk Douglas
9. Jerry Lewis

Professional wrestler and Olympic gold medallist (it's true, it's true)...
10. Kurt Angle

A-Man, that's an excellent list. I think the Big Show will go before Angle tho. I'm kicking myself that I didn't include Ariel Sharon. I don't think Whitney Houston's passing on this year - she's divorcing Bobby Brown and looking quite healthy. J-star.

Damn, I should have done some research on my guesses, like Whitney. I was betting on them being a "doomed" couple. Big Show is definitely beat-up, in pain and unlikely to ever return, but I think Kurt Angle is on the edge - loses feeling in his arms, rumours abound about painkiller addictions, and don't forget, he broke his freakin' neck. Oh, and he had a concussion in his latest PPV match yesterday.
