I saw a link to the England-based Deathlist after Reagan died. They went 12/50 in predicting people who would die in 2004, after a record 14 in 2003.

What is Deathlist? In their words...

The DeathList committee draws up DeathList at the end of each year with the objective selecting the most celebrities who will die in the next calendar year. The list comprises 50 celebrities, with no more than 25 who appeared on the previous year's list.

Of note:

• The Pope tops the list for the second year in a row. Warren Zevon topped the 2003 list.
  
• Look who debuts at #7. Same with #26, 28, 46, and 50.
  
• No surprise about Galbraith.
  
• Where's Margaret Thatcher? She couldn't travel to the US to eulogize Reagan.
  
• What is Liz Taylor doing there?
