why

one of the odder stories i have seen for awhile.
forbes.com have released a top 10 list of dead celebrities and their earning power. elvis comes out on top, followed by charles m schultz and tolkien.
all i can ask is why?

is this because people can't help themselves and like to make lists?
or is it because the estates of these dead people want to make sure that they can make even more money?

just plain odd is all i can say.
