Keith Richards: life-expectancy calculation
Dr. David J. Demko, Maxim-Blender Magazine (March 2004)








I got an 85

http://www.demko.com/deathcalculator.htm

[LeftyMom]

1. I got a 97

I'm to freaking healthy for my own good. :)

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Me, too and I'm not that healthy.

[LeftyMom]

8. Heredity then?

I have two grandparents who lived to be 93, so I got bonuses for that (even though my other two grandparents never saw 60.)

[Catshrink]

18. I agree - heredity plays a big role.

My grandmother was 87 and grandfather was 93. Aunt Alma is still going strong at 94. My Dad is 87 and except for being blind (macular), he's pretty healthy. He has 4 other siblings in their 80's that are also healthy for that age. That's his side of the family.

Mom died at 83 and most of her siblings were gone by 85, including her parents.

2. There's a quote from Wayne's World 2 about Keith

Something like: "Keith Richards can not be killed by ordinary means".

[DS1]

3. I got a 90

but I'm doubting that. Then again, what with medical advances for another 60 years before I'm 65, it'll probably happen :shrug:

Cool, I'm gonna live to 2063

[tigereye]

4. 99 for me

Don't forget William S Burroughs lived a long time, too. ;)

[progressoid]

5. BS.... I only got a 76

[ZombieNixon]

6. Says I'll live to be 90...

though since Keith Richards should now be a decade six-feet under, I find its conclusions suspect.

[x-g.o.p.er]

9. 94, baby!!

[huskerlaw]

10. 2070, here I come!

92 years old. Yikes.

[Hugin]

11. LOL!

I, like Keith, am on borrowed time.

Get the orange cones ready!

*klunk*

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Silly scientists, they're called the undead for a reason.

[Hugin]

13. This quiz also doesn't take into account...

My spare parts I'm having grown in a vat in an underground lab in
southern Nevada and then put on ice until needed.

Sheesh... Pretty sloppy.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. When will they learn?

*shakes head*

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. 68

:(

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Complete bullshit and bigoted wishful thinking:

"Are you a religious person, and do you practice your faith? Yes = plus 2. No = 0."

[Hugin]

19. The second part of the question is the clincher...

"do you practice your faith?"

It really should be two questions... I don't think there's
any doubt Keith practices his faith.

[patcox2]

23. Ah, so we reject statistical facts that don't comport with our beliefs?

Hey, fine, but you should know that they don't make stats like that up.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Hey,

at least I'm not rejecting the fossil record. THAT would be insane.

On the other hand, maybe I should have answered yes to that one, since, as some people say, "ATHIESM IS A RELIGION!!@!11!!!11cos(0)!1!!!!"

Edit: 93 if atheism is a religion, 91 if it isn't.

[NoPasaran]

17. After they drop the Bomb

It'll just be Keith and the cockroaches

[SOteric]

20. Keith Richards ~did~ die in 1995,

and somewhere in the world there's a Voodoo priestess with the chicken blood and feathers to prove it.

Apparently I'm going to live to about November of 2082. Please, - don't hold your breath. :hi:

[KamaAina]

22. "Somewhere in the world" would clearly be New Orleans.

and somewhere in the world there's a Voodoo priestess with the chicken blood and feathers to prove it.

Keith is known to be a New Orleans fanatic who often plays (music) with the local artists when he's down there. I am, however, still waiting for the answer to my "Ask Keith" question about him possibly contributing some of his Paul Allen-range bucks, as well as that "street cred", to the rebuilding effort, along the lines of the Branford Marsalis-Harry Connick Jr. Musicians' Village. They have not updated the questions since last year:

(of course, if he did die in 1995, how could they? :shrug: )

[Fenris]

21. 94

[SteppingRazor]

24. I got a 70...

Hell, I'm kinda surprised it was THAT high :evilgrin:

[mikeytherat]

26. After The Apocalypse, Keith will emerge from the rubble and ask:

"Where the Hell did everyone go?"

[KurtNYC]

27. Richards has been started up so he will 'never stop never stop...'

and time is on his side so don't question why he needs to be so free. He'll tell you it's the only way to be.

[underpants]

28. Boo!!!

Bad Kurt BAD!

[Samurai_Writer]

29. I got a 101.

I highly doubt I'm going to live that long, though. At least, I hope not. That is just too damned old.

[Initech]

30. I picture the apocalypse and two things surviving - Keith and bugs

I know I'm quoting an old Bill Hicks routine but it's the truth!

"Hey... I saw a bright light... I thought it was time to go on!"

[DainBramaged]

31. 89 That;s fine, after that drool control is difficult

and I don't think I can take my body becoming a skel after that.

[shrike]

32. Actually, I've always seen Keith as proof of God's existence.

Think about it. No earthly reason for him to be here.

And btw, I'm only kidding.
