This is not a heterogenous list. The list elements would still have to
have the same type.

FWIW: chapter 4.4, page 33.

This definition is indeed not very useful, but you can have something
like the following:
class Renderable a
class Updatable a
data GameObj = forall a. (Renderable a, Updatable a) => GameObj a
list :: [GameObj]
list = [ GameObj SpaceMarine,
GameObj Zombie,
GameObj BFG9000 ]

Oke,
I changed it to this : http://codepad.org/ROV4ASAB
But still there are errors.
