#63 Calculate your longevity.

The Harvard Medical School's longevity calculator...

This Calculator is based on a quiz Harvard Medical School researchers Thomas Perl, M.D. and Margery Hutter Silver, Ed.D. developed to help you calculate your life expectancy. The quiz was developed after a rigorous study of 150 centenarians.

To compute your life expectancy, the calculator sums all of the individual score points together. The result may be negative, zero, or a positive number. The calculator program then divides the result by 5. The result of this division is then added to 84 if male or 88 if female, producing life expectancy in years.

Calculate your longevity:

oh god no I don't want to live to 92. Hopefully me having asthma will cut that down a bit.

Peaches, 92? I only got 91. Woe is me. I may have to try it again and see how I can jigger the figures to get it to come out right. giggle, giggle, giggle.

Drinking Black Russians, in moderation, should do wonders for your asthma. Who knows, you might even get to 93. Black Russians all around.

No offense intended.

This is a very funny cartoon.

Cheers back at you, matey!

Hmmm ... I gonna make it to a ripe old 74! THat gives me 15 more years to get my afairs together, eh? (Maybe I should have been less honest in my answers?)

Jack, in response to your comment at my recent post, re: animation on my site:

I'll have to honest and say it has nothing to do with HTML knowledge.

All the animation on my site, whether it appears in the posts or on the sidebar, is quite simply applied by the good-old-fashion "Copy and paste" method.
....(Some animations don't work on my site - so those are ignored.)
....Many of them are found by doing a browser search using the key words "Animated GIFS" or "Animated images or cartoons."
As the Geico commercial: It's so easy a caveman can do it.

You can check out some of the links on my sidebar, those are some of the sites I visit often for material.

84 for me - is that all? i'd best clean up my act - though i think my heritage or rather parentage stacked the odds against me.

interestingly, and to track back to a topic under discussion elsewhere, i note that the survey includes no questions regarding sexual activity and behaviors.

i would think though that having a committed and loving realtionship and lots of sex that you enjoy would add years to your life.

i'd like this survey even better if it predicted quality of life along with longevity. so i guess i'll go with 84 if i am active and still mentally sound.

I think it's rigged. I got a 93 as well. I'm sticking around until I'm 104!

Karen said...

Wow! 92! Hopefully it's all in good health!
