Despite my seeming aversion to morbid topics, I should confess that I have a teeny bit of a morbid streak.
For instance, on occasion, I scan through Wikipedia's "Recent Deaths" page and one of my "favourite" portions of the Oscars telecast (on the very rare occasion I actually bother to watch it) is their "In Memoriam" montage.
Oh, and I sometimes check to see if a possible relative (going by surname) has wound up in the local obituaries.
What's the "appeal"? Hmm, hard to say.
One thread I am aware of, however, is seeking out "familiar faces". Or, perhaps better yet, hoping they didn't make the list! Kinda like a vigilance thing, if you will.
