Are you ready for this?
Of course, if I am not going to be pessimistic I have until 2021.

Normal mode.

Funny how the BMI starts from <25, I had expected the <25 to actually be the majority.

(Then again, looking at the links kinda makes you realize why :) ).

Gee, they think I will live as long as my dear old Granny. :)

However, I too was intrigued by the BMI starting at <25 :blink:

Edit: I decided to check on my husband. I was surprised to find that his predicted date of death was not far from mine. (Surprised because two of his 'indicators' - being male and overweight - made me think it would predict otherwise.) However, further tinkering suggests that the makers of this clock think that attitude is everything.

Optimists really are expected to live forever. :D

When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.

I think the BMI calculation is a ridiculous way to relate mass and size as a measure of health. I'm scrawny enough that you can count my ribs if I lift my shirt (that is if you're not blinded by the horror), and my stomache might not be as flat as a board, but it comes close, and my BMI is 24 (5'5" - 150) - right on the border to overweight. I'm firmly convinced, however, that I am not overweight: I am underheight! Many of my acquaintances are quasi-"gym-nuts" and are built to carry a lot of muscle mass, and they take advantage of that (one is a former NFL player). They have ridiculously high BMI numbers because they carry so much muscle weight, not because they have stomach's that go on forever.

Enough ranting: Normal mode has me kicking on Wednesday, September 25, 2052; my wife will go on for four years longer (Four more years! Four more years!). Pessimistic says Wednesday, July 3, 2030 for me. Blargh. At least 25 more years to spend working for The Man™.

edit: it occurred to me that I never made the point I wanted to. The BMI starting at 25 makes perfect sense: the risk factor associated with overweight/obese starts at the cut-off for overweight. If you're under that, it doesn't matter if you're way under or just under.

Saturday, Feb 23, 2030. I may get to retire before I croak. :)
At first I thought, "Mind control satellites? No way!" But now I can't remember how we lived without them.

Good God this can't be right.

Ok, who wants to buy tickets to watch my progress in to Lichdom.

I'm not dead yet.

I'm feeling better.

I don't want to go on the cart.

It told me I have zero seconds to live and I got a little java script pop up window indicating my time has expired and that I should have a nice day.

Bugger.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

"Isn't this where...."

I suppose this means I will expire while a Priest is intoning the Mass, while a parson is screaming about hellfire and brimstone, or while the Dallas Cowboys are blowing another fourth quarter lead and I scream at the TV set. No, wait, it will be when my 22 year old grandson runs me over with his car thanks to being in "reverse" rather than "first gear." No, wait, it will be some one's errant four-iron shot screaming across a water hazard and beaning me in the brain. Yeah, that's the ticket . . . to the hereafter.

Until then, I shall shamble about the world muttering "Brains . . . " or "Coffee . . ." as the situation warrants.

December 31, 2047 under normal mode.

Interesting to not that while I'm overweight, losing 30 to 40 pounds to put me at a healthy weight for my body type adds one year to that by their calcs.

I can add up to to 20 more pounds and not lose any time. Silly death clock. It seems to really want me to live to be about 70-74 years old.

I guess it must not know when I am going to die. When I click the little check your deathclock button, the tab it opens is blank. And I know for certain it won't work with IE because I disabled it :whistling:

It will be the car. As a zombie you take extra damage from blunt weapons, and the car/ground is a blunt weapon. :)

Nobody else is already dead?

Come on... Somebody else has to have an already expired death clock.
