The results are in, and I have won my office’s celebrity death pool (and 90 bucks). I came in first, with 384 points. Second place was a mere 22 points behind me, but she’d included on her list a criminal who had been scheduled to be put to death and she’d won a bunch of points for this (the guy was young, he was evil, it could be considered a violent death, and it was an exclusive). Despite that, I still won. All the other contestants were in the 100s or below, so it was between the two of us for most of the time.

Those whom I got right:

Peter Jennings
William Westmoreland
Ruth Hussey
Simon Wiesenthal
Peter Rodino, Jr.
James Doohan
Shelby Foote

I thought maybe there were a couple of others, but that’s all I can remember.
