I have a way to go yet…

Grandad October 11th, 2007

I wandered over to Poodwaddle.

I know that sounds like some place in the Australian Outback, but it isn’t. It’s a weird site that has all sorts of clocks on it.

I went to the Age Calculator.

I put in my age, and then answered all 33 or 34 questions. I didn’t lie. I told the absolute truth. I even told the truth about my smoking.

Interesting.

Apparently, my Virtual Age [which is apparently the state of physical health of my body] is only 40.9. Sure I’m only a nipper!!

The other thing though, is that apparently my life expectancy is 94.1. I like the 0.1 - it means I can calculate to the month.

This means I have another 30 to 40 years to go [assuming Ron or the CIA don't get me first].

Will my pension last that long?

Can you put up with me for that long?

Can I put up with me for that long?

-oOo-

Damnit!!

As soon as I posted this they removed the clock out of Poodwaddle, for legal reasons.

They give an alternative site, so I took the test there.

That gives me a physical Age of 36.5 !!! I’ve just gained four and a half years :)

And my life expectancy has shot up to 99. Wow. I might get the telegram from the Pres yet…

    Putting up with you for that long shouldn’t be a problem provided of course that we live that long too.

    I took a wander over to that site but the age clock is gone because of some sort of patent dispute :|

    Robert - That clock has been there for ages!! They chose the day I posted about it to take it down….

    I have amended my post and given another link, which gives me even longer.

    :)

    Keep looking. You might find a clock that gets you down to 21.

    Doc - First thing you do is get out a 40 year loan………. ;)

    Bock - I don’t want to go too far back. Then I’d have to go back to school again. I could do without that.
