This is quite interesting: A life span calculator. Just why does this remind me of the Futurama Death Clock? 54 years left to live. Hmmmmm.

Neat. Sux.
Does it account for the Arby's cuisine?[/font]
EDIT: Bah! Tests like this scare 10 years off of me! I really hate them. I feel like I'm gonna keel over anytime with a daisy poppin' outta my shirt. Damn "health" tests....(mumble, grumble)
Just had a major blood test - all those LDL & HDL cholesterol levels, blood pressure, triglycerides lipid "panels", glucose urea nitrogen, sodium, potassium, calcium, albumin, blah, blah - what "they" call a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel with the special Lipid Panel Triglycerides add-on "package". Cost me $220.00 smackers.
Made my blood pressure go up 10 points, and made me depressed for a week.
Drat those "health" experts. May they all get ran over by runaway golf carts and turn into kumquats.
Damn you, Jens! Just live, ya bastard!

Does it account for the Arby's cuisine? Yeah. It asks quite specific questions regarding amounts of fast food servings per week. But what the hey, I have coupons!

I am not a fan of those roast beef sandwiches, but those swiss bacon cheese or whatever sadnwiches are superb.

I'll live to be 85. But that's because my mother has had cancer (thank you, oh so wonderful nicotine) and my dad has high pressure (a thing about hearts from that side of the family). Still, I hope I didn't get big C gene and that I can remedy the heart by having an active life style (the law didn't do much for my dad). I think I can live to be 100.
But, of course, the prophecy still stands and I will be shot to death at age 40-49 on a cloudy evening.
EDIT: Roast beef rules!

Ignoring car accidents, plane crashes, assassination attempts or World War III, I'm going to be 81,8 years old, according to this test. That means another 54 to go. Plenty of time to find a job... ;D

Hook what are you doing? 85 years old. Maybe you should consider living in the States for a while. Really, I think you need you need to be exposed to more Mc Donald's, Coca-cola's, Houston air, Jersey water, etc... That's what happens when 1. you can't recognize Faith 2. when you post Hitler ad's ;D According to that site Roast Beef and other processed meats aren't good for you... -CG

According to this calculator I'll live to be about 75 years old. Is there anyone whose not going to reach the age of 70 based on that calculator... I think this calculator is a little to generous with the "scientific" age predictions. It assumes that if your family lives closs by, your stress will be reduced... ;D It also doesn't have any ethnicity questions... I also think I got points taken away because I never use sun-screen. Should I? Was I the only one with a very large negative number for the nutrition section. Darn fast food. Darn vending machines without fruit. Darn Coca-Cola. I thought for sure that my bad diet, lack of exercise, and the NY metropolitian air/water was going to take more years off of my calculated life. Cancers start before one's 70th year, but based on this calculator this isn't the case. Maybe this music hobby is extending my life... -Carlton

Their guess for me is 84.6 and I've got around 58.9 years remaining.
However, I find it odd that it did not ask if I currently had a pistol in my mouth, caressing the barrel of the gun with my tongue, and was considering creating a map of the Aegean Archipelago on the wall behind me with blood, skull bits and brain matter. Wait, let me check again...
No, it didn't ask that.

I'd deduct 20 years from Jens, arguing overexposure to zombie crapfests of the late 70s and 80s. --Willing to lend life for scores. 84 years available. Call me
