Enter your height and your BMI and it will tell you an estimate of the exact day you are going to meet the angel of death.

Just remember, you can't cancel your date. You have to keep it.

Oh noes, less than 51 year to live :(

Wait, that would make me 73.... That's awfully young to die, especially considering the facts that my BMI is below 25 and that I don't smoke :p

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Deathclock is shite. There was some other one with the BMI and height thingy and then a whole bunch of questions, which gave a much more reasonable answer.

(Tuesday, October 9, 2063, supposedly)

As a supposedly slightly overweight smoker born in 1989, I'll be honest, I'm not that gutted.

The BMI calculator isn't wrong, BMI isn't supposed to take into account muscle weight (which is why basing your lifespan on it is fairly silly).

I swear the Sadistic one makes the seconds pass faster.

So it varies between 2020s, 2040s, 2060s, 2080s... depending on sadistic, pessimistic, normal and optimistic.

Nope. I get to die at 74. Which isn't too bad, considering I'm at risk for diabetes.

I wouldn't take it seriously. This thing only takes into account a few factors. Important factors, but without all of the other important factors---other possible drug use, exercise patterns, medical conditions, genetic tendencies, diet, ect ect--it's entirely worthless.

All I can say is Death better be prepared to take me to a mighty nice restaurant, or our first date is going to be our last! :D

I will be 100 at the time, so he had better be prepared to walk pretty slowly as well.

My date with Death was a disaster. The chemistry was all off .. maybe it was his/her breath, or perhaps the peculiar line of conversation ... the only thing we shared was the interest in the meal and his/her shimmering sense of dress style.
It was a night of pity self-sex afters for me. I suppose that's what happens when you solicit someone with that many appointments/prospects.

Good one.

As is, this is a desktop theme i was given for Xmas a while back. The card was funnier, but not by much.
I still have the "Death Mints" that came with it. I offer them to coworkers and say they're altered cross-tops.

... switching from pessimistic to optimistic adds 45 years to my life. I'm just a little sceptical.

Of course it can...if there's anything this thing gets slightly accurate--though even there it's only slightly--it's the fact that your attitude on life...how you see things, and so on...has a serious effect on your lifespan.

The more pessimistic you are, the more stress you cause yourself, and the more likely you are to make bad decisions subconsciously, such as avoiding medicines you might need, or continuing a bad diet, not getting enough exercise, ect ect.

Whereas an optimist would generally tend to make good decisions.

Of course, these things are a lot more complex than the site made them out to be...they wouldn't just divide into twenty year even differences...:rolleyes:

Not quite as funny as in the IT Crowd, when this guy gets told that he has till next Thursday to live by one of these sites.
