Want Your Life Expectancy?

Here's a morbid game for everybody:

Go to this Life Expectancy Calculator and see how low a life expectancy you can calculate by trying to manipulate the answers.

I managed 32.1 years, which I think is pretty impressive, considering the starting age I entered was 35.

I died at the age of 15.7 (I also told it I was 500 lbs and 4'11'')

Don't get yourself down, laugh about it, sleep on it, and then try these 10 Age Defiers

Why is owning a dog #2 if it only adds one year? Or is that dog years?

Mariana:
I think they're in order of easiness-- most people probably have a pretty good idea how to get a dog, but wouldn't know where to start on the murky and nonsensical task of "having social networks" (call me a sociologist, but doesn't everybody have social networks?)

Also, why is 'tomatoes' the only one with an exclamation mark? Why not 'Sex!' or 'Financial Control!' ?

The leading on that chart is giving me a headache...

Apparently, I'll live to 97.7. My good looks, however, will far outlive that.

I may have screwed up because one section labelled me as "significantly overweight" (oh no you didn't, biatch) and then I was later congratulated for being so lean. WTF?

Also, I didn't need to read this before supper.

Keeping gut transit time under 20 hours seems to decrease the incidence of colon cancer, probably by decreasing the contact time between the gut lining and cancer-potentiating substances in the diet.

YUM!

86.5 . Damn Nikki beats me!

Maryam, it's all about the gut transit time. You'll understand some day. Perhaps after you've eaten my cooking.

I got 84.5 years, probably because I don't exercise ever.
Lindsey got 108.3! She will be dancing on all our graves in her super futuristic flying tap-shoes!

I made it to 88.8 years. But I think that if I flossed everyday I could add like 10 more.
