He may. I have not heard anything about his health lately.

Holy Crap! Sunny von Bulow just died, after 28 years in a coma! How the hell do you catch anything deadly while in a coma?

Well, as of today (December 29) we have a four-way tie of lists with two stiffs each. Let's check the point totals:
Hedo Diva's List:
Fidel Castro Harry Morgan Louis Farrakhan Billy Graham Andy Rooney Estelle Getty - 5 points Lena Horn Jack Kevorkian Ariel Sharon Louis “Studs” Terkel - 1 point
TOTAL: 6 Points
Hilary's List:
Pamela Anderson Fidel Castro Roger Ebert Farrah Fawcett Estelle Getty - 6 points Billy Graham Charlton Heston - 4 points Oral Roberts Ariel Sharon Amy Winehouse
TOTAL: 10 Points
Bif's List:
Jesse Helms - 10 points Billy Graham Richard Kiel Kirk Douglas Paul Harvey Chuck Berry Fidel Castro "Captain Tony" Terracino - 3 points Moqtada al sadr John Goodman
TOTAL: 13 Points
Jake's List:
Ariel Sharon Chemical Ali Fidel Castro Jack Kevorkian Kirk Douglas Louis “Studs” Terkel - 5 points Louis Farrakhan Osama bin Laden Paul Harvey Tony Snow - 1 point
TOTAL: 6 Points
So it looks like Bif is going to be the winner, barring any unforseen croakages in the next two days......Jake
(and please, if I made any miscalculations, feel free to point them out)

Just what did I miss about the scoring of this pool? Jake you get 5 points for Studs but I get 1?
BTW, can't I get credit for mentioning that I had Charlton Heston on my list but took him off because I like him too much to include him on my list. Isn't that a tie breaker?

Jake added the scoring system much later, in fact after many (including myself) had submitted their lists. I didn't realize at the time that the order of the names on the list were important, but I was just lucky that my #1 croaked.
Since the rules changed after the fact, I say we call it a tie and distribute the cash and fabulous prizes equally. (Unless one of us gets another hit before Jan 1)

Bif is correct yet again. I suggested the tie-breaker rule after the fact, so one could claim that it is invalid for 2008. It is NOT invalid for 2009 though, so you might want to adjust your lists accordingly.
As for 2008, I still believe that we are ALL winners! Yayyy!!!!.....Jake

Jake you get 5 points for Studs but I get 1? You had him in your bottom spot; I had him in my fifth spot. That was the tie-breaker method that I suggested. Granted, it was implemented after the fact, so I suppose we can't really enforce it, as Bif mentioned. BTW, can't I get credit for mentioning that I had Charlton Heston on my list but took him off because I like him too much to include him on my list. Isn't that a tie breaker? Noooooo...... You are sounding like a whiny Democrat! If you did not play someone, they do not count!

Noooooo...... You are sounding like a whiny Democrat! If you did not play someone, they do not count! Yea sure, you can make rules after the fact but no one else can suggest a way out of this mutiply tie situation caused by your poor planning. Huff

Congrats to Bif for winning the big prize!
I'm going to un-sticky this thread soon to make room for the 2009 threads. If you want to save any of it, copy or bookmark now......Jake
