Hi,

I happened to check out Dr. Demko's Original Longevity Death Calculator, and in studying all the 55 questions it wanted me to answer in regards to how long I may live (in terms of race, country, parents who lived to be 85 years or older, etc.), I answered them all and I found out that my current habits may prevent me from living to be 45 years old.

Check it out at http://www.demko.com/deathcalculator.htm

My projected year of death: 2026
My estimated life expectancy: 44 (+6 months)

    Ugh, well I would have lived until my late 80's, until I fucked a question up and couldn't undo it in Calc. Too many questions!

      3 years old... 3 YEARS OLD! Bullshit.

      I should have died 12 years ago, apparently. Well, I'm still alive and the healthiest person in my family. This thing isn't accurate. Maybe because I'm 15 and I can't honestly answer EVERYTHING, but a score of 3 is spot-on ridiculous.

        I'm going to live to be 60. i hardly doubt this is true. hello? im only 13, and i obviously can't answer some of these questions! but i guess it's pretty good for 13.
        If i'm too young, maybe you're too old :wink:

            65 years old, but I intend to defy the odds.

              Really? how did you guys get such low scores? I was going to live until my late 80's early 90's until they asked a stupid question near the end and I had to stop because I messed up. And I answered "no" to all the doctor visits, and exercising questions.

                  Whoa, I got 90.

                  It says to answer all 55 questions, yet 4 of them are gender-biased. That makes sense... :roll:

                    Excuse me... with the addition of my paternal great-grandmothers representing my dad's side of my family - both also lived past 85 - that means my projected age of death will be 48. My age of death would also be extended to 50 years as I am a Christian.

                                    I don't put my faith into those or fortune cookies or fortune tellers. And things like tarot cards
                                    that only bring bad news.

                                    This machine only seem to predict bad news. I am sick of bad news, you see on channel news and in daily news papers why do I want more.

                                    It's not that I am not curious, I mean would wouldn't be. But do I really want to find that I will die in two days and spend two days being paranoid or spend two days enjoying myself.

                                    I would rather blissfully put my life in the hands of fate and when ever the good lord calls me up so be it.
