I’d start a bit lower.
Say, five bucks.
We’ll split the difference and say $502.50. 
ya know, what I’d really like to see here is entries! I have the feeling a lot of people are waiting to see if a certain celebrity dies before the start of the year.
I have a clarification question concerning the Manner of Death. There must be a Latin phrase for that, but I digress.
Concerning the terrorists on some lists, death by execution does not make points, but I take it that death by assassination or armed drone accident does. :dubious:
Modum mortis* I think.
Nah, that’s what alternates are for. Or amended lists. 
For me, things have just been a blur the past four weeks. Life’s been crazy, work’s been crazy, all of a sudden Christmas is a week away and I haven’t taken care of stuff I should have done a week or two ago. So the Death Pool list has been pushed back until after Christmas. That’s just life.

Lyon, Ball & Kinney are the surviving original members of NZ band Hello Sailor after Brazier & McArtney’s deaths I imagine they are eating chia seeds, drinking herbal teas & consulting health practitioners, but these guys didn’t worry about pesky little details like getting famous before they became the Wild Men of Rock. There aren’t any birthdates on line but they would all be around 64.
