Mark your calendar or Palm V. You can expect to die on:  
September 14, 2057  
at the age of 79 years old.

And I have a 6% chance of dying from confusion. Who knew that was possible.

Hmmm…  
I have a 7% chance of dying (at age 80) from auto-fellatio. Wonder if I’m going to be taking up yoga at age 50 or something tho stay that flexible.

They’re only giving me until age 70, despite my healthy, incredibly boring life.

They also rank “Public Execution in a Third World country” as the #1 most likely cause, again, despite my incredibly boring life. Eh?

Mark your calendar or Palm V. You can expect to die on:

November 6, 2057  
at the age of 77 years old.

Cancer (35%)  
Heart Attack (21%)  
Alien Abduction (6%)  
Third Degree Burns (6%)  
Alcoholism (5%)

I’m trying to think of a scenario in which all six of these causes could be incorporated into my death at age 77, and it’s not a pretty picture. 😃
