5. The "Age Expectancy" calculator is interesting too

I have a "virtual age" almost 6 years younger than my chronological age and a life expectancy of 80.9 years. :toast:

11. Ugh, that sucks. I'm 44. My virtual age is 43.9

It's almost not worth it if all I can milk out of a responsible lifestyle is an addition 5 weeks of life. Sheesh.

13. It is kind of backwards for me

I am overweight, balding, have Type-2 diabetes and a family history of cardio-vascular disease. As a result, I see a doctor every three months, work out vigorously four times a week (i hour on an elliptical trainer) and less vigorously twice a day for five times a week (walking at a good clip about 1.5 miles to and from work), have excellent blood pressure and eat a diet that fits both the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association standards. I did fudge a bit and call my regular sessions on World of Warcraft "relaxation."

If that calculator is based on accurate actuarial data, I'm set. :toast:

16. Is that on this web site?

Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 12:42 PM by intheflow

I don't see it. :shrug:

...but then again, I haven't had nearly enough coffee this morning, so maybe I'm just missing it.

*On edit: Never mind. I found it with just a few more sips of caffeine. :hi:

Oh, and my real age is 44 with a life expectancy of 75, but my virtual age is 38 with a life expectancy of 80! :bounce:

21. Love the first link!

Sent it to all my vet friends. :hi:

And if you like that kind of stuff, search YouTube for The Capitol Steps, they're masters of converting pop songs into politcal satire.

10. In the time you take to read this sentence 30 people will be born and 13 will die

Personal note to GWB: In the time it takes you to read it, 10 will have been born and 4 will die.

26. Well, despite some bad habits I'm going to make it to 83.

I'm 69 now, so looks like I have a way to go yet. I expected that because all the women on my mother's side lived into their 80s and they all had health issues.
