Another borderline pick this year was the dude from the nuke reactor that went bad in Japan (a scientist). News of his subsequent cancer is what moved him into the "celeb" category...just barely.
So I guess that means that he didn't make it....
Isn't there a rule that celebrities that are famous b/c the fact that they're dying are excluded?

Yes, if that is the only reason they are famous (the "Terry Shiavo Rule").
This guy was in the media before he got the cancer (during the nuke problems) and has recently announced he has developed cancer. His fame is not entirely due to his illness.
Tough call though, hence why it was borderline.

Since we're all going to die on December 21th, I suggest that celebs that die on that date won't count for the end result. I mean, everybody dies on that day. It's an easy prediction. Even the people on Ming's list will die....

Not a major storm, no. Some freezing rain which collected on the power lines and eventually pulled some of them down. Not really sure how many people were affected but I don't think it was a huge number; I was simply one of the unlucky ones
If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.
Second chance for anyone that wants to play but missed the signup deadline. After much consultation the Dead Pool members have agreed to allow for late submissions under certain conditions.
If you still want to play, here's how:
4. This list is to be sent by Private Message to Wezil for eligibility verification. DO NOT post your list in the thread. I will post the lists of all players at the start of the game in January. This prevents others from “poaching” your good picks. Only "late submissions" (see below) will be accepted after 31st December 2011.
a) Late submissions will be accepted until January 15, 2012 under the following conditions:
i) New players must submit a list of 20 unique (not picked in 2012) celebrities. Consult the 2012 game thread opening posts for a complete list of picked celebrities.
ii) Returning players may submit their old team with unique picks filling any openings created by 2011 deaths. New picks are added to the bottom of the player's Rank List. In the alternative - Returning players may create a new team as per clause 4 (a)(i).
iii) Any and all "unique" picks on a late submission team are ineligible for the Unique Pick Award (the "penalty" for a late submission).
iv) All picks must be eligible (i.e. Still alive) as of team submission. Any returning player picks that may die prior to submission are removed from the team list and may be filled by a new "unique" pick.
