Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine How Long Might You Live? Quiz

As the son of a dentist I'd just like to say the flossing thing is a great big pile of bollocks. It can help but all most people do is cut their gums, which then causes infections and so on and so forth. As long as you brush your teeth properly there is absolutely no need to floss. I've never flossed in my life (excepting when I've got something annoying stuck between my teeth) and I have almost perfect teeth, no fillings, nothing. OK, so again my Mum is a dentist so I kind of have an unfair advantage there but it's just about looking after your teeth.

As for the weight thing... um, yeah, it does seem a bit odd. At 9 and a half stone and five foot eight it had me as acceptable or something like that whereas my doctor has repeatedly told me that I have to be careful that I don't lose much weight because then I'd be on the bad side of skinny. it's like rickshaw says, you actually need the weight on your bones to be able to sustain yourself properly. Also bearing in mind it doesn't take into account the fact that muscle weighs more than fat so it'd probably put very fit people into the overweight catagory as much as actually overweight people.

Oh, and Lash honey when I say i wouldn't want to get to the point where I couldn't cope it's all relative. I already have arthritis, crappy vision and the most godsawful memory there has ever been but that's nothing new. I'm also going grey, I'm just lucky that I'm blond so it doesn't show up so much. Chris only just noticed the other week that my temples are really quite grey (my eyebrows are also going grey which is slightly more disturbing) despite the fact that I've been going that way since I turned about twenty. Luckily though male baldness also runs along the maternal line and all the men in my Mum's family had a fine head of hair until the day they died.

Guys, it's just a computer questionnaire. We all know our proper weight. It certainly depends on more than height. As Bevis said, muscle is one factor. So is your bone structure - I'm 6'1" with a medium bone structure, so I can't carry as much weight as someone the same height with a larger bone structure. If you are realistically comfortable with the way you feel and look, weight wise, then that's good gauge of where you should be. But being realistic is the key.

I prefer the Deathclock. The other one asks too many questions I can't answer.

Me: "Look, I can't tell you what my blood pressure is like. I *have* had it checked in the last 3 years, though. Why isn't there a don't-remember option *here*? I refuse to enter false information!" *takes the high road and closes the window*

According to the Deathclock, I shall die about two months after my 71st birthday. This is strange, since I hired an assassin to kill me when I'm forty. But then there was the "but not if I get you first" clause...

Unfortunately, it seems Britney Spears will outlive me.

meh, took it anyway. 83.4 years, and it told me to take up drinking! *thumbs nose at that result* No way, José!

Ironically, it told me not to exercise so much.

Is this thing trying to encourage me to be more of an out-of-shape slob than I already am?

I don't know why you'd want to be killed when you're 40, snowsparkle, but as someone who is currently that age, I'd encourage you to renegotiate that contract or "get the assassin first." At 40, I have a lot more to look forward to and am enjoying life much more than I did 20 years ago.

I also selected the "optimistic" option on deathclock, whereas, a few years ago, I might have checked "pessimistic." It's all in how you feel mentally and spiritually, not physically.

HWW (who, on a good day, feels mentally about 12. )

Answering the Healthspan one the best I could I got 74.3.

On DeathClock it said I would die on Saturday, September 6th, 2053.

Oddly enough the death clock says I'm going to die when I'm 86 and a half, which is spookily close to what the other one said. ooooooh.....

Oh, if he even remembers, I'd be surprised, and I've totally changed my mind, but we were twelve. My mother always wished she'd die before she hit 30, and she didn't stop being really paranoid until after she was 32 or so that somehting was going to strike her dead. Granted, back when she was really wishing it, she was also living, shall we say, extrememly dangerously.

I can't kill my "assassin", though -- unless it was a mercy killing. I love him too much.

There was an optimistic option?! Dammit, I have to go and do it again, maybe it will give me a different expiration date.

Saturday?? No one should die on a Saturday!

Floss a couple of times this week and maybe you'll make it to Monday, Sept 8th.

Sunday, September 6th, 2054 -
That's only about a year and a half off of the other.

Grife, the preacher's gonna feel bad if I croak during his sermon!!!!!

That does makes a huge difference on Deathclock.

Try choosing "sadistic" and see what you get.

When I choose "sadistic" it tells me I died 11 years ago.

EEEEEEEEPP!!!!!!!

I just took the Death Clock, but changed my outlook to Sadistic.
*ulp*

Today's my day!!!

Well, Beagz, anything you would like to say in your remaining hour and a half?

It was great knowing you Beagz! You too, HWW, even though it seems post-humorously.

Uhhhhhhhhhh ..........

"Mommy?"

Well, not the best set of last words, but we all can't be Bob Hope.

We'll miss you, Beagz.

Mayavale shall live to a healthy old age of 87.5!

Unless someone betrays and murders him first...

Okay, so...
Healthwatch: 83.4
Death Clock 'normal': 71
Death Clock 'optimistic': 89
Death Clock 'pessimistic': 58 (Ulp!)
Death Clock 'sadistic': 38!!! Yee, looks like he'll be coming for me after all!!

This is almost as much fun as the reincarnation site that told me in my last life I was a chihuahua in Great Britain in the 1800s.

So, who's doing the eulogy for Beagz?

Shall I exorcise Beagz or just leave him haunting the hallowed halls of Legion World?

Leave him here. We haven't had a ghost yet, and it certainly would be nice to have someone we know and love. Can he still post?

Hmmmmmmmm ........

Okay, if I'm dead, then being dead is an awful lot like being at work!!!!!

Depending on where you work, Beagz, you could be in heaven or hell right now!

Well, with the group I work with now, no matter how hellish things get, I can't imagine a better group of people to be with ... unless it's Legion Worlders.

Now that you're haunting us, don't forget to knock Cobie's statue over every so often.
