As previously mentioned, Amish Tech Support is holding the 2004 Dead Pool. What is it? Well, you pick 15 people. If they die in 2004, you get points for it! (Points are found by taking 120 – their age at the time of their death) so the younger they are, the better! There are also bonus points for various things. Go check it out. Unfortunately, those of you who didn’t heed my advice to enter earlier are now too late. You can play along with me, though. Here are the picks I submitted to the dead pool:
- Richard Pryor (11/25/1940) — Comedian / Coke addict
- Michael J. Fox (6/9/1961) — Actor
- The Pope (5/18/1920) — The Pope
- Tommy Lee (10/9/1962) — “Musician” / Porn-star
- Ronald Reagan (2/6/1911) — Former President
- Yasser Arafat (8/24/1929) — Terrorist
- Ozzy Osbourne (12/3/1948) — Musician / Dysfunctional Parent
- Yogi Berra (5/12/1925) — Athlete / Quip-master
- Mike Wallace (5/9/1918) — News Anchor
- Margaret Thatcher (10/13/1925) — Former PM of the UK

- Alonzo Mourning (2/8/1970) — Athlete
- Claude Levi-Strauss (11/28/08) — Anthropologist (Not related to the denim manufacturer)
I’m all signed up for my CNN Alerts so the minute one of these fools dies, I’ll know about it. I’ll also be right on top of the various stupid and life-threatening things that they do.
