The Celebrity Death Pool 2012

Anyone have former king of Cambodia, Norodom Sihanouk?

Yep, a unique pick for Premislaus. Also their first death this year.

First points ever!

Congratulations!

Virgin no more…

I missed this when I was on vacation last month. Karate legend, Joe LewisDead at 68. I believe that is a unique pick for me.

I really don’t see how anyone is going to beat Registered at Last this year.

Let’s not forget about the Mayans!

Gosh, when I took over the Death Pool from Little Nemo back in 2003, the entire thread was just nine pages (really eight pages plus a single post) long, and the winner (Cisco) had 115 points.

The science of death prediction has advanced remarkably.

It is not a science, it is a Black Art.

Any sufficiently advanced science/technology is indistinguishable from Majik

Is registered at last nearing a historical Death Pool high point total?

We’ve gotten remarkably better at [del]killing off our celebrities[/del] predicting celebrity deaths over the past nine years.

And better at chatting about it along the way.

With 115 points in the current game, you’d be no better than 30th place.

And we’ve got 2 1/2 months to go!

George McGoverncircles the drain…

Yeah, google has done wonders for death predicition. Combine that with a culture that loves to talk about the minutia of celebrity life (and terminal illness) and you get record high scores.

And for what its worth, looking at who remains on my list, and who remains on CAMJAY77’s list, I think he still has a chance to catch up.

Arlo Guthrie’s wife Jackie has died.
