    That's 58. That's about 18 years longer than reality.

    Good times!


    EDIT: Ripoff! I did it as optimistic instead of pessimistic, but I didn't copy it right. So I hit 'calculate' again with the same info and got a 10-year difference. Did it again five more times and each one was like 8 years away from the one before it. I knew it wasn't legit, but didn't expect it to be that random!!!

    2/21/2027 - 60 years and nine days after my dad died. I'll be 70.
    I'm thinking that's pretty close to dead on, given my health, family history, etc. Barring an accident or other disaster.

    Nats will still be looking for a pennant.

    I'm not kidding, the site (on pessimistic mode) tells me I should have died last March. WTF am I still doing here?

    Found 'em. Hell, I've been dead 16 years. No wonder I'm such a miserable prick.
    Or I'm dying THIS Christmas, which will be a wonderful gift for many.

    If I hear that "free credit check" commercial on the radio one more time, these dates are moot. I will shoot myself loooong before the end of said commercial.

    The creepiest thing is the seconds countdown. Less than 640,000,000,000 to go.
