I don't want to make this into a lame internet quiz thread, but this was a fairly extensive survey. Who knows how accurate it is though.

According to our research, you'll be dead by

I had cancer too. It's scary when they told me 24% of my life is over. What have I accomplished??

Probably more than you give yourself credit for.

That's something I often have to remind myself of.

96. In my sleep. At three in the afternoon, on a warm spring day, sitting in a comfy chair overlooking a lake.

Dead at 63, Heart Attack

cause: smoking

Of course my grandmother has been smoking since she was 13 (she's 83 now) and she is bizzarely healthy for a smoker of her level. Even her doctors are amazed how healthy her lungs still are.

But yeah, I pretty much expected a low number, with cigs and all.

I'd think life expectancy would go up considerably by the time the generations around mine grow old. I plan to make it to 2076 for the U.S. tricentennial celebration. I'll be... 95. Nice number.

Uh, what kind of moron wrote this?

"Medical History: Is there a history of any of the following in you or your family?"

Holding on too long (wtf does that mean?)
Acute mental illness/depravity (depravity? are they serious?)
Ugliness is a medical condition now? How do they treat it?
Venereal disease? How would I know that? Like, that comes up at Thanksgiving?
Held in your farts?
"Done something 'extreme', in the Mountain Dew-brand sense" Oh that sounds scientific.
"Who you rather be safe or interesting?"
test your reflexes? uh, with my trackpad? can I use the Mac's full keyboard access?

death: 81. Cancer. Because my two chain-smoking grandparents died of lung cancer? Sure.

(five minutes I'll never get back.)

That test says 2057, at the age of 81, cancer. Which is wrong, as I know that I'm gonna die in November 2096, being hit by lightning.

I bet the insurance company can do a good job pinpointing when/how we're most likely to die.

Saddly most of you will die drunk in front of MacNN.

I once had a patient, whose doctor had told him he'd die in a year.

He spent the total of his savings with his wife; over $200 000. Partying, voyages etc, name it.

13 months later, he was still alive and well, and without a penny.

The test says I'll die at 77.5 of a heart attack. Silly thing! My family history of heart disease is related to tobacco use, not a genetic predispositon, and I have NEVER smoked. I'll write about this again in thirty or so years.

Deathclock says I'll die on January 27, 2032. That's my father's 100th birthday-and he's 74 and going strong today. I kinda doubt this one too.

Dumb quiz, apparently I have very little REAL chance of getting cancer. I'll probably get diabetes though.

Mine said 2051 and probable cause cancer.

Personally, I think it will be sooner. From a stroke. Seriously, I do think that. I had a blood clot with my last pregnancy and this pregnancy is just horrible right now (I have never been so ill in my life) so if all of a sudden I disappear from MacNN I went off to big Apple in the sky.

Yeah, well, when I'm super rich I'm gonna make sure that I invest heavily in stem cell research. There better be a cure for cancer and aging within 65 years.

Says I'll die at 88 from old age. Which is about when my grandfather went. Grandma (dad's side) died at over 90 after a series of small strokes.

My other grandparents are still alive in their mid 80s. My grandfather is very healthy for his age. Grandma, not so much. She's got adult onset diabetes (diagnosed only a couple years ago) and some dementia.

I die in 2054 of a heart attack. My other options are a car accident(which only happens in my mind) and loneliness. I already spent 35% of my life doing pretty much nothing. I wonder if I can wait any longer. lol
On the bright side I will live longer than the average man and my enemies (all 5 of them) won't kill me first. I plan on becoming a super villian after retail has finally made me crack and turn to a life of crime and deception.

Age of 67, Of cancer.


Is it just me or is there a disproportionate amount of cancer around here.

Although there is a 2% chance I'll die of wounds.

It will not as it is not right now. You can't cure cancer; you can only buy time and then you will die from it. It is just going to move elsewhere in your body.

We can't do something now, so we will never be able to do it. Makes perfect sense.
