I'd give it a little above 50%.

The ghost of Glen Campbell must be seeking revenge on his rivals... (After all, it's the one month anniversary of his death)

How do I make a poll?

November 18th, 2017.

Here's some ideas for some new names on DeathList 2018. (If there is someone who was on an earlier list, tell me.) John McCain: Reason for Notability: US Senator and Presidential Candidate (2008). Age in 2018: 82 Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with a brain tumor in July 2017. If he dies at the average survival time, he will die in November 2018. Stephen Hillenburg: Reason for Notability: Created the longtime-running cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. Age in 2018: 57 Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with ALS in March 2017. Most people who have it don't survive for much longer. Jerry Maren: Reason for Notability: Actor and the last known surviving Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz. Age in 2018: 98 Why they should be on the list: Age alone should do it. Also, just look at his picture on Wikipedia. Chuck Yeager: Reason for Notabiity: First person to exceed the speed of sound. Age in 2018: 95 Why they should be on the list: Age. Also, possibly those G-forces. Walter Mondale: Reason for Notability: U.S. Vice President under Jimmy Carter. Age in 2018: 90 Why they should be on the list: Age, not to mention that Carter was also on the list more than once. Johan van Hulst: Reason for Notability: Dutch politician and humanitarian. Age in 2018: 107 Why they should be on the list: Age. Definitely age. Marge Champion: Reason for Notability: Disney's model for Snow White and The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio. Age in 2018: 99 (This was posted on her 98th birthday.) Why they should be on the list: Age. Most of my choices are for age alone. Kim Jong-un: Reason for Notability: "Glorius" leader of North Korea since 2011. Age in 2018: 36 (according to North Korea), 35 (according to South Korea), 34 (according to the USA and Switzerland) Why they should be put on the list: If the USA and North Korea go to war, that will most likely kill him. If not, diabetes will, because he hogs all of North Korea's food. Jim Leavelle: Reason for Notability: Pearl Harbor survivor and Lee Harvey Oswald's escort. Age in 2018: 98 Why they should be put on the list: Age, not to mention he saw his fellow troops killed by the Japanese and a man get shot (PTSD). Juan Carlos I of Spain: Reason for Notability: King of Spain from 1975 to 2014. Age in 2018: 80 Why they should be put on the list: Resigned because of "personal reasons". Not sure if that has to do with his health. Wilford Brimley: Reason for Notability: Actor (The Thing) and spokesman for Liberty Medical. Age in 2018: 84 Why they should be put on the list: DIABEETUS. Mel Brooks: Reason for Notability: Director of Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein. Age in 2018: 92 Why they should be put on the list: Age, yet again. Last but not least, Sidney Poitier: Reason for Notability: Actor and director. Age in 2018: 91 Why they should be put on the list: Age. There was also probably something wrong with him when he directed Ghost Dad.
