I've decided, with G-d's will, to live to 120. And if I die sooner, so call me pisher (Yiddish for p!isser).

Wonder how shooting a gun and owning a gun factors in to the total deal?
Only thing that would ruin my life now is if the other gun quit firing:(

I'm dying at 84 from cancer in 2066. Not a bad run. Wouldn't want to be 90 anyway. It's the pipe smoking and stress/lack of sleep that's gonna get me I guess.
I'm wondering, too, how gun ownership factored things in. Longevity by self-preservation?

That said, per the linked site, I'd last until 2039, dying of cancer at around age 75. In a perfect world, that would be long enough for me to transferred or copied onto a more durable substrate.

Hmmmm... I wonder whether we'd be able to cope with, say, fifty thousand years of life if we had that choice? Even the last fifty have seen a lot of changes.- NF

Per that website I'm going to live to be 78.5 and die from a heart attack, and it told me that I'm in better health than the average male my age, and have "good to excelllent" health habits.
I swallow 17 pills a day, have had 2 heart attacks, 2 bypasses, and now sport a pacemaker/defibrilator. I cannot walk 200 feet without becoming completely winded, and cannot walk and carry on a conversation at the same time.
I stay up late, and only get an average of 6 hours sleep per night. I hang out in "shady" places with disreputable people. I try to shoot twice a week, but sometimes end up at the range more often.
I would be a "meat & potatoes" man except I do not bother eating the potatoes, or any veggies. I like chocolate & ice cream (together when possible). I used to drink sparingly, but now that I can afford good Scotch I have a wee dram or two daily, plus one at night.
If I live the 26 more years they say I will, there will be a lot of doctors who are more surprised than I am.
Besides, I'm having too much fun, in spite of myself and my condition, to worry about "old age." I'll probably fall to my death, either from a bedroom window or from laughing too hard.
stay safe.

No Surprise: Cancer
Of course, they claim I have more health and vitality than the average man, so I know it's hooey. That near-term heart attack is a lot more plausible.

Are you telling me everything on the Errornet isn't true? Say it ain't so! Actually, I wouldn't do that test. I won't fill out that much info.
Aw heck, I went back. I'm going to die in January 2054 of cancer. Of course, I have more health and vitality than the average man too.
Useless test. I didn't fill in one single box, or check off one single option.[/u] And it still gave me a result, supposedly based upon their research.
But BTW, if you noticed, that's a dating site anyway, and the whole thing is probably pretty much a joke.

I wonder how much the fact that I'm adopted and don't know a thing about my family health history skews this survey. There was no way to check "I don't know". I also wonder what re-doing it without the motorcycle and guns would do to the forecast.
Kind of depressing to see that I've lived 42% of my life on the night before my 35th birthday. I was already bummed think that I'm single again and don't have any kids yet.

Hey Art,
In 20 years I will be your age , 71. This forum stuff is sure going to get interesting - huh?
You figure by then we will know the best gun for bears?
