It all started March 29th with Johnny Cochran and now it's like this big,huge,runaway snowball of RIGOR MORTUS Yes,you can forget about three being the "magic celebrity death number" because this thing has a mind of it's own!

Prince Rainier-April 6th
Saul Bellow-April 5th
Pope John Paul II-April 2nd
Frank Perdue-March 31st
Terri Schiavo-March 31st
Robert Creeley-March 30th
Mitch Hedberg-March 30th
Johnnie Cochran-March 29th

Of course,if you break these deaths down into groups of three,we still have one more to go. And,yes,I know I'm evil and going straight to hell because I picked the Pope for my Rotten Dead Pool.I now have three points for this year ! GO ME !! Here is the rest of my team:


1 Yasser Arafat Politician
2 Charlton Heston
3 Rodney Dangerfield
4 Joey Bishop
5 Billy Graham
6 Gerald Ford
7 Jerry Lewis
8 Art Linkletter
9 Abe Vigoda
10 Pope John Paul II

Isn't Abe Vigoda already dead?

And it would be an interesting trio if the Pope, Billy Graham, and Jerry Falwell all died.

Shiavo a celebrity? That's like calling Laci Peterson a celebrity. (Though if you had put her on your list, I guess that would have been a really good pick. Sort of a cinderella story. But the police might want to talk to you for that dark horse selection.)
