Play the Longevity Game!

Only takes a minute or so.

Cheers.

2. Apparently I died...

...in 1997.
.
I must have done something wrong on the test.
.
I'm pretty sure it was MUCH earlier than that.

3. Ha!
They had me at between 77 and 83.

Both of which I'm sure are pure fantasy.

I'm going out before 70.

Guaranteed.

I'm such a goody two-shoes. :P

Seriously, I never smoked, never did drugs recreationally, don't overdrink and I exercise regularly, plus eat well.

8. Has me making it to 81
That's about 10 years longer than I would have guessed. Must be my healthier habits of late (probably too little, too late).

9. 90, which is actually as long as I would want to live anyways.
There's no point in living if it has no point or if your mind is mush.

I bet a lot of DUers lose years on the recreational drug thing, although I bet most believe that pot should add 10 years to your lifespan. Of course, to a regular pot smoker you wouldn't really care or notice if you lived longer.
