  • Who's going to die in the next 12 months?

    You get to choose 10 people, and you get 1 point for each year they are under 100. The person with the most points at the end of the year wins.

    Eg - choose the Queen Mother and you would have got -1 point, choose Britney Spears and it would be more like 80 points but thats not very likely. You can choose anybody, but preferably someone known publicly.

    I'm still thinking of my list - will post it later.

    PS Yes it is a bit sick, but it wasn't my idea - honest! I have to stump up £10 to take part in a local one - I could win £200-300 in a year.

      I didn't realise how popular these things were. www.stiffs.com looks pretty big, and even has novdid's avatar on there!


      Yeah - post your lists and I'll keep a track. The winner wins the honour of winning

                Edit: By oldest, I don't mean in age but who have been there longest

                        LOL @ KvH - but they're not relatively well-known and individually identifieable (ie I bet you couldn't tell me their names no matter how much research you did on the internet)

                          Would it count if I found 10 women whose viable embryos were destroyed with the morning-after pill over the next 12 months? maximum points! 1010!

                            1) Millions dying of aids.
                            2) Millions dying of starvation.
                            3) Combination of the above.
