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?

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

Wow, I can't believe I got 0. Also 88 points is very impressive. Excellent score Crimson Ghost. We should all agree to kick in $5 or $10 this year to the winner. And let's have a cutoff date for getting the picks in.

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.

Did anyone pick Evel Knievel?

He died yesterday.

I never even gave him a thought!

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.
