The Celebrity Death Pool 2011

Kim Jong-Il has died.

FUCK. I just put him on my 2012 list today.

I hope that ends up being good news for US-NoKorea relations.

The style maven that he was, he was still a nutter.

The most-voted-for death of the year - 35 people had him.

Yep, I was one of them! Two deaths in three days for me, although I am sad about Hitchens but he was really suffering.

Sweet! I mean, I’m so sorry–wait a minute, no, I’m not! 31 points for me.

Your link invites me to comment if I’m in North Korea. I had the impression that the Internet was not such a big thing over there.

I’m putting together next year’s list. Any other evil dictators you’d like me to put on there?

I finally got some points

Ditto.

According to wiki, he was born 16 February 1941, an then again a year later on 16 February 1942. How are we scoring this?

I had the bastard Kim Jon Il too, so I **still **have the late hit trophy. :cool:

Are we saying he was 69 or 70? I believe his age is in dispute.

Crap.
I already lost the Top Ten.
Crap.

He died of hard work and fatigue.

So is his golf score.

Like French President Felix Faure?

Another bat has returned to Hell

Dear Leader means I don’t go out with a Goose Egg!

Last year I had his son, and the head of the military that wasn’t his son, figuring to cover both my bases. Maybe I’ll dig those names up again…

I think the 1941 date is according to Soviet records, which I would tend to trust more than the North Korean version (which also claims something about double rainbows on a mountaintop).

This guy finally got me on the board in two death pools. Woot woot.

Figured this would be up there. Figured this would help

Other people. :frowning:

This is from the OP

Do you think we will get to see his body?
Frankly, I begin to wonder if this actually happened. “Died on a train” just seems to in a word, neat. And no, I am not commenting on how “cool” that would be.
