well im suppose to die Friday, July 12, 2030, but then again that was the first time i clicked the submit button it changes everytime you hit the button using the same exact info, the longest i could live is 5 more years without changing the settings. now lets change the smoker to non-smoker and the BMI to something good

the latest i finally got it to say i would live until was Tuesday, November 28, 2073, wow 91 years old is much different then the original 48 lol

Edison for example is respected by many people worldwide regardless of their race, religion, or nationality. Why? because he did something that all humanity can benefit from.
IMO, Your acts form your image. And your image stays to remind people of what you did and what kind of person you were.

I highly doubt it. Try "22, February, Male, Normal, 28". Hit the submit button as many times as you want and it you'll get "Saturday, December 4, 2055"

I came across this site many years ago... don't take it serious, just as a form of morbid entertainment.

That clock is stupid, how how can you base your date of death on smoking? My grandmother on my fathers side has been smoking all her life and still smokes about 5 a day...she's 84 years old.

The site is based loosely on actuarial tables. It is an actuarial fact that smokers tend to live fewer years than non-smokers. It is not a given. I smoke. I'll take whatever that produces for me. It's just a statistical table that has validity if you're going to make money insuring people's lives. They didn't make out with my dad -- he lived to be 91. They made out with my grandmother, who died at 52. Win some, lose some, don't take that site seriously, consider actuarial figures an average that makes insurance companies a fortune. Shoot, don't stress over it, get real.

"Synchronise your clock to your time of death!!!" - How morbid is that?

What if it's miss-timed and there are a few extra, really awkward minutes at your funeral when all the snacks and beverages have run out?

It's like those little heart rate monitor watches joggers go around with.
What's the point? How do you know when they flatline that it's you or the ni-cad that's dead?
