Thoughts on our Death Statistics

First, yes I spent too much time on this...but I don't care.
Each list is in draft order and each name is a link to the wikipedia entry for that person. Where possible I link directly to the portion of the wiki most pertinent to when that individual will die. Also, for those death prospects who also have a Dickipedia entry, a link is provided (if you've never checked out Dickipedia, do so, as it is hilarious.
Interesting Statistic:
Despite Herman's oft repeated strategy of going older this year, he has draft the youngest team in the league with an aggregate age of 591. Not Witty was a close second at 596, however, they did draft a 27 year old who is more tumor than flesh at this point. Graham has the oldest team with an aggregate age of 824. The average aggregate age of the teams is 685, which means the average age of a death prospect is 68.5. The three prospects closest to this average are Dick Cheney, Chemical Ali and Ringo Starr. Ringo Starr is perfectly healthy, doesn't drink, is a vegetarian (for health, not moral, reasons) and is the least talented Beatle. That makes him a classically bad Herman pick.
Youngest celebrity in the pool is Amy Whinehouse (25), at 93 years young Les Paul is the oldest.
I have taken the liberty of selecting a Team Captain for each death squad and posting a picture of said captain. Most of the captains are those who are the sickest and closest to death. When that isn't clear I picked the youngest of the sickest. Space Parlor did not draft anyone with a publicly know terminal illness so I went with the most photogenic team member.
