Needed corrections to this thread:
"Ripping off Howard Stern" ByeBye? I think not. Death Pools have been around a lot longer than he has.
Keith Richards died in 1972, DiabloTX. He's just the result of "better living through chemistry".
Paris Hilton? What's the "half life" on plastics anyway these days?
Dick Clark.... think there was a FarSide cartoon years ago about Dick Clark suddenly aging 50 years over a few moments of time while hosting New Years celebrations. That, or someone will walk up to him, carrying a sword, and saying something about "There can be only one!"
Lady Bird has been on my Brother's Death Pool list for 5 years now. Every year is her last it seems. She was last seen publicly in October.
Saddam Hussein ... not sure if someone given a death sentence and 30 days to live (or less) can be put on a Dead Pool.
Sixpence..."Andy Kaufman".... just a little late with that pick......22 years or so.....
But a moot point..... uptown, as far as I can tell, takes the pool with his bet of President Ford.
Good thing the thread did not specify a celeb to die in 2007.
