As if the stubborn refusal to die among the centenarians on ours lists was not enough incentive. Still around and kicking despite their age:
Brooke Astor
Max Schmelling
Princess Alice
I've got some 90+ers on my 2004 list that are going to outlive me, I suppose. Unless I take them off for 2005 and then they will drop on New Year's Day out of sheer spite. |

Wrong. Score another one for Fugee. Princess Alice passed away on October 30, 2004. Linky Neither one of the celebrity death lists I am on sent an e-mail notification for her.

One of the lesser-known drawbacks of not having a last name: difficult to Google. |

Sadly, that is a score for Lester, not me. I have Max and Brooke who will keep ticking until I get frustrated and take them off my list. They will then drop instantly. |

You ain't kidding. Anyone have Reggie White, dead of sleep apnea at 43? Or perhaps one of the 11,000 people dead in coastal SE Asia today? Happy freaking holidays, indeed. |

Reggie White
Former NFL great. He dead.
http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3275634
Maybe the holiday death epidemic only applies to sports figures.
I do have Max Schmeling, so there may be hope for me in the 11th hour. . .
ETA: Damn. You have to get up pretty early to beat Google-boy on one of these announcements.

Um, I had him too.
It feels weird to be asking for acknowledgement that I accurately predicted someone's death.
Anyway, has there been any kind of official tally yet? I know we still have a couple of days, but I'm just curious about who is the best grim reaper on the board. |

Jerry Orbach
Dead of prostate cancer (reported on CNN, fox news and ABC news websites). This makes me very sad. Even though he shouldn't have put Baby in a corner.

I'll get the tally up soon. I'm a slacker, I know. |

Have any of my picks died?
Maybe I should charge aging celebrities to be on my list.
