Okay: I was, I believe 0/13 last year. You would think a palliative care nurse such as myself could do better than this but its more that I dont get hourly reports of peoples health. So some of it is repeats with a few fresh/elderly faces.

I dunno. I thought I was ready to post my list and then I saw in the news that Mindy McCready got out of jail over the weekend. Hmmmm. I might need to move her up from alternate status.
Clearly I must give this more thought. I’m wildly paranoid that I’ll somehow miss the posting deadline though (I did that one year and I’m still filled with grrrr over it) so I’ll go ahead, post what I have, and reserve the right for a few last minute tweaks if needed.

I hope he’s playing it close to the vest and didn’t forget. Even though his list is usually filled with celebrities that I never heard of like the prime minister of East Bumfuqistan. I still admire his research technique.
Oh and before anyone comments, **Robert Picton ** is convicted in Canada, and he won’t recieve the death penalty. It was mentioned last year too. I am thinking that a)he might not be the healthiest person arround, (what with eating all that pig meat, and his partying with women of interesting occupations) and b) there might be a few people not too pleased with him. So yes, convicted murderer, death by other means.
Last year he posted at 11pm eastern but he was active in the tread before he posted his final list. I’m worried. If he doesn’t post then no one will die next year! You know what that means. Zombies. Lots of zombies.
ok revised list:
Claude Levi-Strauss
