    It would seem pessimism is worse for you than the ***s.

    If pessimism means you die earlier how will this affect those on the site who constantly go on about beel?

    It's probably populated now by Jonno's spooks. Mick needs to get a virtual exorcist.

    Take the number of years you have left and divide by 4.

    That's the number of world cups you will get to see before you croak. **** that's scary :(

    With any luck you'll be murdered or run over by a bus long before then.

    Some people earn massive money when they die, well they don't but some **** does of their name...

    Elvis still making millions even after all these years....





    The Forbes list of the Top 10 earning dead celebrities has revealed they collectively generated some $351m (£217m) from beyond the grave.

    Michael Jackson, with an income of $160m (£99m) last year, reclaimed the top spot from Dame Elizabeth Taylor, who earned $210m (£129.9m) in the 12 months after her death in 2011 from auctions of her art, jewels and clothes.

    Last year her income dropped to $25m (£15.46m).

    Albert Einstein's name alone earned the dead genius millions
    The bulk of Jackson's earnings came from Cirque du Soleil shows which feature a hologram of the singer performing his hit Man In The Mirror, but he also earned from rights to The Beatles' back catalogue.

    Elvis Presley, who died of a heart attack in 1977, proved his enduring appeal after death by netting $55m (£34m) from online sales of Elvis-branded goods and tours of his former home, Graceland.

    Peanuts comic-strip author Charles Schulz died of colon cancer in 2000, yet his books are still purchased and enjoyed by millions of children and adults around the world.

    Love for his famous comic characters including Charlie Brown, Snoopy and bullying Lucy, was strong enough to keep his earnings at a healthy $37m (£22.8m) last year.

    Children's author Dr Seuss, whose real name is Theodore Geisel, who died of natural causes in 1991, also confirmed the enduring appeal of children's books as he earned $9m (£5.5m) in sales last year.

    Geisel has delighted children for decades with colourful picture books such as Green Eggs And Ham, featuring odd characters such as the Cat in the Hat and the Lorax.

    One of the more unusual entrants on the list is science genius and theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, who passed away of natural causes in 1955 aged 76.

    Einstein's appearance and his name remain his most valuable assets. Photo library Corbis says it gets more requests to license his image than for any other famous person.

    The Hebrew University of Jerusalem owns the rights to Einstein's name, which earns from Walt Disney&#8217;s Baby Einstein line of toys and videos.
