tpayne, Daniel Radcliffe is only 13. Plus he has the power of magic protecting him. Gimme another name.

t-keela, you know you get five more picks.

Tried to not copy anyone to much…

Here is my list:

The Pope
Ronald Reagan
Osama Bin Laden
Marlon Brando
Warren Zevon
Gerald Ford
Katherine Hepburn
Saddam Hussein
Billy Graham
Harry Morgan
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Hume Cronyn
Buddy Ebsen

My picks are based on high odds. I’m going for cumulative points rather than betting on a long shot.

Silver Fire: In compiling my master list, I found that Jack Osbourne is only 17 years old and won’t be 18 until Nov. 8th, 2003. In other words, if he dies before Nov. 8th, he won’t give you any points. You can give me another name if you don’t want to take the chance.

(Although it would be an awesome 82 points if he dies between Nov. 8th and Dec. 31st.)

Sorry… I thought “sick is sick” so “sicker” didn’t make any difference. My apologies to the tender-eared out there.

Please remove Daniel Radcliffe and add Slug Signorino.
