According to this Death Clock Calculator, I should have been rotting in my grave a year before I 1st signed on to Film-Tech. [uhoh]

...I'm sure MANY agree with that! [Razz]

How much time do YOU have left?

Seconds left to live...

1,059,369,78

I'll be 84!

Awsome, I have plenty of time left to go around insulting folks... yesterday it was a projectionist from Carmike that told me he was one of Carmikes prodigy operators... well he couldn't focus the image worth a darn.... and he wasn't aware that being from that employer counted as an automatic negative 10 points against him...... Oh well...... Its best not to be from that employer......

My guess is that it wont be the smoking that kills me, but some crazy driver.

Posted by Steve Guttag (Member # 268) on 01-08-2006, 03:28 AM:

Yeah, like they will still allow people to drive themselves by then...it will all be automated for our safety. Instead, you will be killed by a vehicle that isn't working properly due to a glitch in the code that will be fixed on the next revision, or two.

I must be dead - It refuses to answer me. [Mad]

I had to enable Pop Up's glad I did.

June 14th, 2035 I will be 2 weeks shy of my 96th Birthday. [Big Grin]

So I'll be 58. Man, that's going to be some good Valentine's Day sex.

Posted by Leo Enticknap (Member # 534) on 01-08-2006, 01:29 PM:

14 March 2047. I entered the default BMI (I don't know my weight in pounds, only kilos: I think I'm probably slightly above the ideal BMI, but not by much), 'average' optimism/pessimism rating, that I'm a non-smoker (true), and my birth date of 18 June 1973. By crunching that data, this website thinks I'll live to be 74 - but why it thinks I'll die just over three months short of my 75th birthday I don't know - why not make it a nice round number and call it 18 June 2047?

I read somewhere that the life expectancy for a typical British male is now 76, so maybe that site's a bit pessimistic. However, mean averages are a very blunt instrument. From all the other life expectancy crap I read in the papers, the following factors might also have something to do with it. I'm not married, have a history of heart disease on both sides of my family and drink probably 20-30% more than the recommended weekly alcohol intake for a male, which all reduce life expectancy; but on the other hand I have a low fat diet (mainly the result of my allergy to dairy fat - i.e. I can't eat anything with milk, butter, eggs or cheese in it) and don't (and have never) smoke(d).

So really, you can crunch statistics to produce a 'headline grabbing' one such as is generated by this site. In a way, sites like this are a good way of getting you to think about how statistics are generated and what they really mean. But the optimist in me prefers to hope that, in this case, I'll end up being an exception which proves all those scary rules!

I'm going to have to live forever just to finish all the projects I've already got started.

Posted by Wolff King Morrow (Member # 2226) on 01-09-2006, 02:38 AM:

My only health problem is I'm a little overweight for my height. I don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs, and there's no history of illness within my family. Ended up with a date of Jan 12, 2048.

Posted by Allison Parsons (Member # 2728) on 01-09-2006, 02:46 AM:

Monday Feb 2, 2071 which would make me 93years old. good god!

It would have been 2080 if I didn't smoke...bad me.

given the fact that I get different answers for the same data input, I am either already dead, or going to die at the end to this e-mail, or live forever. Maybe this is all a dream....

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 01-10-2006, 12:05 PM:

Then your family will be ruined by your debt. Hurry up and get disowned or something.

Posted by Steve Scott (Member # 630) on 01-10-2006, 12:40 PM:

September 14, 2056... almost 73.. good enough, except that day is my ex-gf's birthday... ugh

Posted by Dave Williams (Member # 299) on 01-10-2006, 01:46 PM:

November 2, 2050. Just shy of my 84th birthday.

I always knew I would grow into a cranky dirty old man.

Ciao

Posted by Jeremy Jorgenson (Member # 2989) on 01-15-2006, 07:17 PM:

Would you rather know when you were going to die, so you could prepare & say goodbye (or, like William, run up some hefty debt), or have it be a surprise? [Shrug]

Yep that will be what does it for ya... The Sex. For me it was Nov 22 2064. Almost 95 years old.

Posted by Tony Bandiera Jr (Member # 2365) on 01-17-2006, 06:08 PM:

Depends on whether you're:

Pessimistic : 20 Sep 2017 (My first choice);
Normal: 8 Nov 2036;
Optimistic: 12 Dec 2058; (yeha right)
Sadistic: 9 Nov 1999 (Hits close to home, that's literally a few weeks after my dad died.)

The funny part is that with a BMI of 25 I'm actually overweight. (5'9", 168lbs.) Call me Porky!

Posted by Robert Burtcher (Member # 3227) on 01-22-2006, 04:03 AM:

Bah. It's (somewhat) randomly generated. Click the "Check your Death Clock" several times and you'll get several answers. Mine tend to vary between 2070 and 2084 (which would put me somewhere between 85-99 years old).

The last thing you remember is being thrown through your windshield and face first into the hitch of the truck in front of you. Doing 80 in a 25 zone might have seemed impressive to the girl in the passengers seat.. to bad she died as well.

Well, the hell with the passenger anyway.

Time to revive this thread... How long will *YOU* live? Death Clock.

I've been given a reprieve... It now sez I'll live 'til 2018... I guess I better pay those GD credit card bills.

Poor Brad... He has to put up with my shenanigans for another 11 years... BUTT! HE *Deserves* it!

Posted by Matt Fields (Member # 3211) on 01-03-2007, 05:31 PM:

Better start saving more for retirement.

Famous Lips (From Wikipedia)

Lips are a visible organ at the mouth of humans and many animals. Both lips are soft, protruding, movable, and serve primarily for food intake, [and] as a tactile sensory organ, and in articulation of speech.

German actor Klaus Kinski is known for his distinctive lips. They are considered a vital part of his performances, and much of their majesty owes to their three-dimensional character and high degree of symmetry. See also: golden ratio.

Other names include:

THE JEN of Film-Tech
John Cleese, famous for his stiff upper lip performances
Mick Jagger
Scarlett Johansson
Angelina Jolie
Mona Lisa
The Rolling Stones logo
Jon Voight, for his character Ed Gentry's "purdy lips" in Deliverance
Steven Tyler, Aerosmith lead singer.
Ashton Kutcher
Jonathan Rhys Meyers Irish actor.
Sheryl Crow

Lips can play a key role in physical attraction.
