I'd like to retract that nomination... I saw him on the news last night and he looks MUCH better than he did when he left the Bush administration. I think he'll easily make it through the year.

I really hope so.

My three are Suharto, Castro, and one other to be named later.

I vote for the chris crocker guy from youtube.. definitly assassination.. and maybe the don't taze me bro dude.. he's gonna make a bunch of money after copywriting hise phrase and blow it all on coke and end up gettin tazed to death in a police raid on his home in detroit..

That's so detailed it's scary. It will be even more frightening if it happens exactly like that.

Personally, I think that Jack Lemon, Johnny Carson, and Anna Nicole Smith will be dead in 2008.

DEP....um.... Anna Nicole Smith....um..died last year.

I personally think Castro is going to live forever. They have been saying he is going to die for as long as I can remember.

1) Imus
2) Britney Spears
3) Liz Taylor

Er, take that back all are dead already, but we could dig them up and have a replay.

Britney Spears.

No, no, DEP is right. All three of these folks WILL BE DEAD in 2008... unless something awful happens, like a zombie infestation.
Well done, DEP!

And I was beginning to think no one understood me. Thanks, Rowan.

Just an Update, no big winner yet. No one picked Brad Renfro. who would have seen it coming. theres lots of Britney and Jamie Lynn votes but oddly enough no votes for their Mum. lastly, the betting window is still open. I did find a prize for the winner/s based on the how obvious the person is. stay tuned!

Did anyone have Edmund Hillary?

Nope or that chick from the Newhart Show. oh and Sam the Butcher from Brady Bunch was not chosen either . still waiting for a winner.

This has got to be one of the more twisted and morbid threads I'ver ever seen, expecially imagining them as racehorses you're betting on.

It's hilarious.

OMG.

Who had Heath Ledger? I sure didn't see that coming.

No s**t. Me either.

It's a shame. I feel like an a*****e, though, because my first thought was "Did he finish the Batman Movie?"

I'm a bad person :-/

Dude, that is EXACTLY what my first thought was, too. Don't feel bad... it's probably your only frame of reference for him.
*pat, pat*

Thank you. That makes me feel better. :)
