Since there were some quizzes on here, I thought I'd link to the Death Test:

(edited out by Moderator)

What will you die of, and when? eek

I'll be dead by August 2052 at the age of 77 from a heart attack.

56% probability of heart attack
24% probability of car accident
13% probability of lonliness (suicide? I doubt it!)
5% probability of drowning
2% probability of death from wounds (murder or accident?)

I have more than average health and vitality than the average man. If Amber wasn't such a good cook I'd live to be 100! wink

I have 16,814.2 days left on Earth and have lived 40% of my life. I better get started on my Theosis!!!

June 2035 at age 78 of heart disease.

Note: I clicked on yes for yoga/meditate (though I do neither) because they didn't ask about prayer.

I thought that not including prayer was curious, as it has been found to lower the blood pressure.

Anyway, I therefore took it upon myself to correct this flaw, and considered praying similar to meditation.

NO thanks, I have no desire to give anyone my medical history. Why should I leave it out there on the internet for someone to pick up.

I clicked on the meditation because that is post-Christian language for spiritual practices.

Pani Rose,

The Quiz is anonymous. No one will know who you are if you click on the circles.

It says I will die at the age of 86 from Old Age if the 1 in 4 chance of a car accident doesn't get to me first.

This is the same type of questions the insurance agency uses to determine how much they will charge you. I remember getting a statement which actually said my expected life span on it. It is pretty scary how much a few questions can really tell about yourself when put through the right filter.

Hm...

I'll be dead in April 2069 at the age of 82, probably from cancer.

...And I entered this when I'm in college; I mean some of the questions "Do you consume beer/liquor," "How many hours of sleep do you get per night," etc. etc. I BOMBED and I'm still supposed to be around till I'm 82.

Looks like I'm hangin' around longer than any of you suckers! wink (Only just kidding!).

Wow . . . I'm still alive. wink

Actually, it says that I'll die at age 77 from a heart attack.

Hmm: I think I'll need to have another bacon double cheeseburger and a cigarette and think about that for a while . . . wink

Pray tell, Dan, whatever was so different in your wife's responses that will grant her such a long life? Was it family death history? confused

Just curious! smile

Her family members are generally longer lived and women outlive men anyway.

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't taken that silly test.

Perhaps someone should go to one of those fraud-finding sites (like snopes.com) to investigate the possible validity of this. Notice they say "It started in the math dept. at Harvard" or something similar. It didn't say anything much really... I did not take the test, I just looked at each page. The top of the page was already filled out with a birth date (not mine) and at the end I was rather startled to see what I guess was the 'sample' result 'death from cancer at age 77' with a drawing of a guy that said 'you have better than average energy' or some such like Dr. Eric's results reported.
It gave me moment's startled reaction since I wasn't expecting to see a result having not taken the thing...

I did go to the snopes.com site but had no luck on the search engine there.
I think as some have stated, it's similar - but not totally similar - to an insurance questionnaire ...
But I have to say that a brief glance at the site's title and the other so-called 'tests' make one highly dubious as to any real value, let alone its suitable tone/character for a byzcath.org referral. No offense meant, Dr. Eric, just stating what I thought the site looks like, sorry!
