How Much Time Do You Have Left?
Interesting article in that tabloid that accompanies the Times- Standard on Sundays. USA Weekend had an article on longevity. Basically that's how long people are expected to live. I'll admit to not really reading the article, but I did read far enough to find out where the test was that they determined longevity by.
So, I headed over here and took the test. I actually couldn't take it yesterday as the web site got overwhelmed with everyone trying to take the test. It was slow, slow, slow, so I finally gave up. It worked well enough this morning, though.
You'll notice there's two separate tests; one for those over 49 years old and one for under 49. My longevity is supposedly 74 years old. That seems a bit optimistic to me as I figured the test would show me as already dead.
One cavaet: At the end of the test, before you get your test result, you have to sign up as a member of their site and supply an e-mail address, username and password.

Considering you should already be in a home or locked up, all those years add up. Thats going to be alot of money to keep your dirty little mouth clean.
^That was just mean and unnecessary.
Checked out the website, but decided they wanted too much personal information from me.
Fred, can't we just use your username and password?
There's a great idea! Fork 'em over, Fred!
Hey, my password is a secret. Besides, I don't think that would work.
You fill in your username and password at the end of the test. You can't get your score without doing so, I don't think. If you entered my name and password, it would probably come back with something like "Username already exists".
Why don't you just take the test and make up a username and password and give a phoney e-mail address.
For what it's worth, I don't think I've received any e-mail from them yet, not even a Welcome To Eons e-mail, so if you're worried about getting stuck on an e-mail list, I'm not sure that's much of a problem here.
A magic eight-ball told me I was going to live to 103. I'll stick with that.
You do NOT have to give them your user name or id to get a score.
I am set to live to 84 and I have sooo many bad habits - all of which I admitted to!
lolololololololololol
