So, in response to the fact that 2009 is nearly upon us, the new Dead Pool needs to be created. Basically this is where you guess who will die in 2009. It's potentially morbid, depressing, and offensive, but hey, it's NSG, so that's just par for the course. :tongue:

Anyway, my guesses...lesse...

I predict William Shatner will die. Probably of a heart attack.

As said in the predictions thread...

me.

and QE II.

Joe the Plumber and Kyronea. I'll make sure of the latter myself.


:tongue:

Seriously though, my picks are former Senator Ted Stevens, and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Andy Griffin and the entire Earnhardt family.....hopefully.

Impossible! We've already had a year where semi cool famous people have died!

I predict Mugabe.

Mugabe. Obama could be one to watch though. :(

ROFLMAO! Oh, that's great. /thread

Nice guess, Einstein. ;)

Christopher Lee

Stephen Hawking

/hope I'm wrong on both counts

Benedict XVI

Ted Kennedy

Going to throw a curve out here and say... dunno... Christopher Walken...

Owen Wilson. Second attempt works....

Going to throw a curve out here and say... dunno... Christopher Walken...

No not Christopher Walken!

Tom Jones.

and

Queen Elizabeth.

Michael Keaton. I had a dream he died not too long ago.

Everyone.

Queen Elizabeth II.

Forza
Magisa

Now, if you'll excuse me, FF5 calls. :tongue:

Going to throw a curve out here and say... dunno... Christopher Walken...

I thought he was already dead. Or does he normally talk like that?

Britney Spears' career


On an actual serious note

Bea Arthur
Joanne Woodward

Roddy Piper
Margaret Thatcher

Madonna.

Most of Pakistan.

Queen Elizabeth (god bless her) won't die, because she can't. She's a blood drinking reptile person from the constellation Draco and therefore immortal. When the time comes she will stage her death and hand over power to her blood drinking reptile offspring.

As said in the predictions thread...

me.

and QE II.

Hey, no fair, I said Her Maj there first! I had dibs!

*sulks*

Orright, tit for tat, American royalty: a Kennedy.

Amy Winehouse

Robert F. Boyle (link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Boyle))

At least three of the eight remaining WWI vets. :(

Third vote for Queen Elizabeth II.

Second vote for Robert Mugabe.

So I'm not very original. Let me add: both on the same day. From knife wounds.

Fidel Castro and Dick Cheney

Haha, they'll never die.

Sara Palin will be trampled to death by a mortally wounded and enraged moose.
Robert Mugabe will die of Cholera.
I think there will be an attempt to kill Obama, but it'll fail.

And his hamminess.

Sara Palin will be trampled to death by a mortally wounded and enraged moose.

I like! And let's hope that a vet is at hand, and the moose survives after all.

Robert Mugabe will die of Cholera.

Also appropriate.

Cholera can be treated though, so perhaps it's more plausible that having contracted Cholera, Mugabe disdains rehydration and antibiotics as Western imperialism, and perishes from some cure he invents himself. Probably involving burning some Pounds and drinking lots of Gin.

Fidel Castro and Dick Cheney

On the same day. From knife wounds.

The Grim Reaper assigned to collect Amy Winehouse must be pretty damn miserable right now.

Because he sees a certain resemblance, you mean?

Or because it's like the Elvis job all over again. The One That Got Away.

Kerry Katona and Patrick Swayze

Kerry Katona

She's that Iceland-bimbo, right?

I predict she'll fall into her own freezer and thus forever becomes Iceland's mascot... They have to sign a legal declaration promissing never to thaw her, though.

Yup that's the one - more drugs than Amy Winehouse

Patrick Swayze
Ah, good call. He's already managed about twice as long as most people with pancreatic cancer.

Margaret Thatcher and, speaking of pancreatic cancer, Steve Jobs.

Yup that's the one - more drugs than Amy Winehouse

That's a shitload of pharmaceuticals right there.
:eek2:

Robert Mugabe will die of Cholera.
Very appropriate! :tongue:

That's a shitload of pharmaceuticals right there.
:eek2:
That's right. She and Amy Winehouse account for 60% of pharmaceutical sales.

Belgium

I predict William Shatner will die. Probably of a heart attack.

Denny Crane cannot die! :eek2:

Wendy Richard and Bobby Robson.

Next!

Queen Elizabeth.
Brenda poppin her clogs?

Everybody. We're all going to die. Game over, man.

Hey, no fair, I said Her Maj there first! I had dibs!

Orright, tit for tat, American royalty: a Kennedy.

If you say "a Kennedy," I'm going to say "a Smith." You can't name a family, you have to choose an individual. Cheater.

EDIT: By the way, who won the 2008 Dead Pool? Has anyone checked?

Robert McNamara
J.D. Salinger
Kirk Douglas
Harry Morgan

I think Robert Plant is gonna die.

No, no, no! Shatner can't die. He's got a great new talk show!

http://www.biography.com/shatner/

I'll go out on a limb and predict that 2009 is the year that Ali Khamanei, the fuhrer of Iran, is summoned to his infernal reward.

Ted Kennedy probably won't last the year either.

John McCain

Fidel Castro

... actually, he'll probably never die.

I place my bets on Harald V, the Grand Monarch of the Kingdom Norway.

Fidel CastroI always avoid people like Castro, bin Laden, and the like, because they're unverifiable.

...plus he'll never die.

Is Abe Vigoda still alive? He's been on my dead pool for years and he still finds a way to elude the reaper.

He is amazing.

By the way, who won the 2008 Dead Pool? Has anyone checked?

It looks like Isidoor won, with Edna Parker being the only person chosen who died in 2008.
