What's wrong with a death pool?
Yes, some may find it to be insensitive. However, I bet that many of you participate in death pools anyway. I laugh my ass off when Howard Stern or Tom Leykis make their picks at the beginning of each year.
Here is a sample set of rules that I have heard of:
A random order is selected.
Each person involved in the pool picks a famous person.
The draft is serpentine meaning that the second round goes in the reverse order of the first: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 et cetera.
Scoring goes as follows: If anyone on your "team" dies, you get 100 - the person's age points.
At the end of the year scores are totaled and the person with the most points wins the pot.
I'm currently not involved in one but I don't find it to be so disgusting that discussion of them needs to be stifled.
