Death Pool, Anyone?

This was mentioned in a recent Hosecast, so I'll throw it out there... anyone interested in doing the Death Pool? We has such great success with the American Idol pool that I figure another pool would be good.


For those who dont know what a Death Pool is, here's the basic gist:

- each contestant picks a list of famous people they think will die in the next year.
- points are awarded upon each celebrity death. more points are awarded the younger the person is.
- person with most points at the end of the year wins.

Or for more detailed rules, I found a good reference here:


I especially like the bonus points mentioned on that page: First Blood (First confirmed kill: +10 points), Solo Shot (Any kill that is unique to the group: +15 points), Last Gasp (Last confirmed kill of the game: +10 points).

Maybe there could even be a prize for the winner. Something like... win an oil massage performed by killerb.
