Death List

4.1.08

http://yudhisuhendro.blogspot.com/2008/01/death-list.html
Today, I read weird thing that is deathlist web . I don't know how they predict them to the death. However I found it from the web:
"DeathList is a carefully selected list of 50 celebrities chosen by the DeathList Committee before the start of each calendar year for their likelihood to die during that year. Candidates must have be famous in their own right such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media. Candidates are not eligible if their only claim to fame is their imminent demise and no more than 25 celebrities that appeared on the previous year’s list can be selected. With those rules in mind, DeathList 2008 has been drawn up and is presented below. 2007 was a disappointing year with ten successes so we will be looking to the 2008 list to give a better showing".

And the year 2008 would be death are in the list :
