some nice suggestions. I added Sharon Osbourne just before reading your post. Also added Joe Paterno. John Goodman is a nice choice. How old is Thatcher? I also really like grasshopr's choices.

This may be why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons

I think they tap my phone lines if I don't report you. Maybe put yourself on the list. Is there any penalty for having the same pick as someone else? I'd pick a lot of ill people over 70.

Seriously though, shouldn't you pick primarily 80 and 90 year olds here?

Though I guess if it's winner-take-all that strategy is too low-variance.

Did you see the scoring? Castro gets you 18 points but if Winehouse ODs it's like 78 points or something. You only need one out of control pop star to offset 4 1/2 decrepit dictators! Plus with like 30 picks you can cover multiple generations, but given the weighting I'd be inclined to load up on degens.

Look for other people that already have a serious medical condition that is either fatal or is much more likely to cause serious medical complications.

Ron Santo, especially when the Cubs once again don't win the World Series.

The best thing about the fetus is that you should hedge it and pick Jamie Lynn as well, because if she aborts it, some psycho redneck jesus freak will probably kill her anyway.

Whinehouse's husband is a better choice than she is.
