The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

He is indeed, as on the list for two others. The death of Harris propels Cumbrian past CowPatty for the lead.

Aw, crap!
:slight_smile:

It’s tougher than it looks. You take somebody who’s already 102 years old. He’s got decent odds of living to 103.

Respects to Dr. Koop.

Koop is a unique pick for Andrew21.

Andrew21 also has three of his celebrities that have died, but they have relatively low point values, so his ranking is still the same, 11th place.

Lou Myers, best known for “A Different World”

A Different Life”?

psssst - post #743:wink:

I have been searching for a link to the Death Pool of 2007 thread. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t find it. I set the search for eight years, which goes well before it, I’ve used search terms like 2007, Death, and Celebrity, but I’m coming up with nothing.

Can someone help?

Here you go: The Celebrity Death Pool 2007 - The Game Room - Straight Dope Message Board

Google search turned it up.

I had Bhutto! Of course I’ve lost my virginity.

She was kind of a wild card for me. Someone relatively young, but in a dangerous occupation, so to speak.

Didn’t know you were into women :wink:

There go camjay’s chance in 2013.

I never claimed to be bright. Of course I should have searched my posts! :smack:

What has been interesting, as I’ve looked at DeathPools past, is to see how they have grown. Players need more points to win than they used to, since we’ve gotten “sophisticated” in searching for celebrity choices.

Allman Brothers ax man Dan Toler, dead of ALS at 64.

This makes me sad. A great musician is gone [sub]and I didn’t get any points[/sub]

Pointless deaths are always a tragedy.
