With New Years coming I was wondering if anyone was up for an informal dead pool? You know, list of famous people you think will die in 2013.

Usually you pick 10 and the tiebreaker is if you get the order right. "Famous" usually means the AP carries the obit.

Anyone up? No idea if any prize beyond bragging rights.

2. George W Bush


Did you mean George H. W. Bush? The elder Bush is 88 years old and has been hospitalized repeatedly in the last couple months. The younger Bush is 66, exercises religiously, avoids alcohol/tobacco, and is apparently in good health for someone his age. While anything is possible, I'd be extremely surprised if the father outlived the son...

Sure sneak in 11 picks while everyone only gets 10. ;) I'm not into dead pools, so no list from me.
