No-one had Anna Nicole Smith, then?

Michael Jackson's the ringer on mine. He was last year too. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking? :eek:

Yeah, ANS would have been the payout of all payouts.

Wow, Anna Nicole would have been worth 61 points!

No-one got Pavarotti either.

I couldn't find the dead thread, so I thought I'd resuccitate this one.

71, pancreatic cancer. It was a good life, though, by all accounts

He was a rockstar in opera. I'd be surprised if I live to 71

Sorry chief, you've got to make your pics by Jan 1 on the year. Naming people who have already died this year doesn't count.

So...

You're saying...

I didn't win?

Dagnabbit.

Check the date today, and remember who predicted it first, except Castro, who's a shoe in.

That's what we all thought about Ariel Sharon. :right:

Did anyone pick Evel Knievel?
 

He died yesterday.

I never even gave him a thought!

Surprised me too -- didn't know he was sick.

Speaking of Evel, when I mentioned in front of my kids, they were all "Who's Evel Knievel?" So I had to whisk them off to YouTube to educate them. Now my little boy is really pumped about Evel Knievel and keeps talking about him, with a wild look in his eye. Maybe I screwed up a little there. Bad father.

Pain fades, bones heal, chicks dig scars ... and the USA has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world!

I'm not playing, but I was looking through a slideshow of celebrity dead for this year.

I found out that Marcel Marceau died in September.

I hadn't heard anything.
