How exactly does having 2 or more daughters ADD years to your life. I'd expect that it would take decades off the fathers life.

I'll die in 2044 (69 years old) according to the calculator.  Less math involved in my post too :blush:

They both give the same year/age for me. The Bills have until the year 2062 to win the Super Bowl, although I hope it's much sooner than that. :P

55 :blush:

 

Screw it! If thats all I got I am damn sure going to live it up while I am here.

I'll probably die like that guy a year or so ago who kicked it while watching football on his hi def set with a beer in his hand. Sounds like ithat could be me!

I got 15 and a half years left, Yay!! :P

 

The other one gives me an extra 12 years though so maybe I can recover.

I came up with 97, but that's only if the other drivers on I-595 cooperate.

Hey, if most of them made it to 97, why not you?

 

What I like is the fact that grandparents dying due to accident lower your own life expectancy....

I like that one too, since it gives you an extra 5 years for having sex at least once a week!

Does having sex with yourself count?
