I actually thought Jack Welch was already dead, but I was confusing him with Don Geiss.

I didn't realize Joe Paterno had lung cancer until just now. I assumed everyone was nominating him because they thought he was on suicide watch.
I hope Dan Treacy (or anyone else, really) doesn't die :(

How deadly is Hep C? I'm seeing a lot of Billy Graham here. And while I would love to see him shut the shit up, he seems the type that will be dying his beard for much bloody longer.
I think abanana is the only one who picked "Superstar" Billy Graham (the wrestler). I assumed that Viceroy's pick was for Billy Graham the evangelist. (Viceroy, let me know if that's not the case!)

If, by December, no-one mentioned has died, then we run a poll to pick a single victim from the lot and we all conspire to off them before the month is out.
