Don’t be silly. Of course you’re going to hell for participating in this game.
If you get there before me, save me a good seat, 'K?
The first notable death of 2006. Sheik Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai has croaked. I would imagine everyone whiffed on that one.
Sheikh Maktoum was also vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (Dubai is one of the seven emirates that the nation comprises). In addition, he was a major owner of racehorses. Sheikh Maktoum passed away at the age of 62.
Sharon has suffered a “Significant Stroke” according to CNN.com.
:smack:
:smack:
:smack:
I knew I should have picked him.
From CNN:
Damnit! stomps around I ALMOST put him on my list too.
We are both sick people. You’re just a little quicker at it. 
Google has decided that we must be kidding about this death pool thing. They’re advertising “Humor Writing Workshops”.
He’s not cold yet, but maybe some smart money was placed on Ariel Sharon
No dammits from me. I was betting on him to live. Just plain wrong here. (Well I guess we’ll see).
I didn’t even think of him, either, but it’s times like this that I have to go back and check out my list again.
“Who the hell did I pick?”
:smack:
First I was pissed because I thought I removed Sharon for someone younger. Then I felt happy when I went back I saw I didn’t. Now I just feel kind of dirty.
Not a death sentence of course. Look at Dick Clarke, Kirk Douglas etc…
I toyed with putting him on, too, then, since I know so many old folks who have had minor strokes and lived on for ten years, I said “Naaaah.” Dang.
I think a new hard fast rule of DPing is to have Middle East Leaders and Rappers.
Or you will be doing :smack:
Which I am because I had Ariel Sharon in my top twenty, but he obviously didn’t make the cut.
I had him on last years list. Submitted my 2006, then he has a stroke a week before Christmas. :smack:
p.s. I feel like a bad karma magnet now.
Well, he’s not dead yet.
It’s official. I just created my 2007 DP list. It’s never to early to start.
I think Sharon’s going to pull through. If he was on Rachm Qoch’s list, I’d be worried about him.
Good point, but then again, he isn’t on mine, which raises the chance he will kick the bucket. Rachm can only fit 13 on the list after all. Someone has to be left off.
He’s not on my list either, which means he is as good as dead.
I started 2007’s immediately after I submitted 2006.
We are sick folk.
Apparently, Ariel Sharon…
