I am now 16443 days, 8 hours, 4 minutes and 0 seconds old. I can’t get the death clock link to work for me though. ---

According to the “Useless Facts” anniversary calculator, I hit 3 billion seconds in Nov 2064… stick around, we’ll have a party. I got my 10,000th day right, though, back in 1992 - makes a man quietly proud. It appears they use Greenwich Mean Time on that calculator so I had to adjust my birth minute to get a more accurate reading, but still… 11832 days ain’t so bad. ---

Using the personal death clock it figures I have 1,078,578,300 seconds left to live and my projected date of death is June 1, 2036. Times’s a wasting! ---

I’ve been around for 1,122,088,320 seconds and I’ve got until 6/15/2040: 1,206,016,797 seconds. …and I’m gettin’ that damn death clock **OFF** my screen. Oh yes, if I go by the sadistic estimate, I’ve got just over a year to live. Now there’s a lovely thought to go to bed with… ---

I am 16,427 days old, and I feel every minute of it. The Death Clock says I will pop my clogs on June 6, 2020 (at the age of 63). Too damn old, I’ll be quite ready in another four or five years, thanks. ---

Leave it to the Death Clock to freak you out. My projected date of death at “Normal” is May 21, 2047…which already would be a significant day, as my mom was born on May 21, 1947. ---

9877 days, 21 hours, 13 minutes and 0 seconds As if turning 27 a couple weeks back wasn’t enough, this makes me feel completely old. I refuse to do the death clock. I’d hate to ruin the surprise. ---

I’m a real youngin’, at 4826 days, 15 hours, 28 minutes and 47 seconds old. Death clock readings normal- Wednesday, March 21, 2068 (67 years, at 80 years old) pessimistic- Sunday, January 21, 2052 (50 years, at age 63) sadistic- Tuesday, March 21, 2028 (26 years, at age 39) optimistic- Friday, April 25, 2081 (79 years, at age 92) Any way you look at it, I’ve got a while to go. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by auntie em \* > \*\* > > OMG. That kind of freaked me out a little bit, even on the “Optimistic” setting. \*\* You know what is really freaky. Today is the pre-anniversary of my death and I did not even know: Wednesday, March 27, 2047. Gives me the chills. It is also a Wednesday. That is good because my funeral will be on a Saturday and all 3 people should be able to attend. ---

10,752 days, 12 hours, 36 minutes and 54 seconds I actually had it in my mind a few years ago to have a 10,000 days old party, but I completely forgot until I was about 10,600. damn. But I do have roughly 2.3 billion seconds left to live. Or so. ---

Right now, I am 12496 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 52 seconds old, old, old. Oh no, I only have until Sunday, March 24, 2047. Now how many years will I be without Social Security? Wait a second. I’m set to die _three days_ before **Shagnasty**??? Does this mean he’ll be so distraught at my passing he won’t be able to go on? Sorry **Shag** , looks like it’ll only be 2 at your funeral. :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-are-you-exactly/100352.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-are-you-exactly/100352.md?page=3)
