2016 Dead Pool

Rules (a few changes made...feel free to discuss/rules-lawyer them below)
1. Twenty names of "celebrities" or other newsworthy people. I believe Death Pool Dave defines this as anyone for whom the AP would publish an obituary.
1a. Be specific. There are two Billy Grahams and there are two Jerry Lewises. And two Stings. There's probably others.
1b. If it's someone important-but-obscure, it's your job to tell me if they die. With link.
2. Points: (100-age+ranking). Your number one pick is 20 points, number 2 is 19, etc. So order matters! In case of a tie, we go with who has the more people crossed off. If it's still tied, then we go with who has the highest ranked person crossed off.
3. Lists to me via PM by midnight, EST, December 31, 2015. I'll post them all here after they are all in.
4. If you send me your list and a person on it dies BEFORE the deadline, you can substitute.
5. The Creepy Rule: Send me your list in order from your number one pick to your number 20 pick. You can list them by order or by point value, but who ever is on top (or immediately to the left if you decide to get cute and put them all in a big line) is your number one pick.
