Calculate your life expectancy!

If you want to know how old you are likely to get - take this test!

Life expectancy test

My results say that I will get to be 82 years old! YIKES!!! That's too long!

I particularly like the explanation they found for choosing that I am single:

"Interestingly, New England Centenarian Study data suggests that marriage or having a partner in your life has different effects upon your life expectancy depending upon whether you are a man or woman. An unusual proportion of the female centenarians never married (about 15%). Perhaps personality features that lead to perseverance, independence, and assertiveness provide a survival advantage. Such women may also be particularly good at managing stress. On the other hand, nearly 100% of the male centenarians are married or were only recently widowed."

Because the truth is - men can't live without us... they're hopeless ;-)
