Breakfast Links: Labor Day

Labor Monday needs some celebratory art.Well, not much posting today because of the holiday. But don’t stress it - you’ll live longer. In fact, if you’d like to know just how long you’ll live here’s not one but two tests (both via mefi) that will boldly tell you exactly when the jig is up for you.

The first one the “Longevity Game” is a cutesy little flash app that draws a picture of you as you answer questions and shows you your big day in the upper right hand corner. This game told me I was living till I was 86. Hmm..

The other one “Living to 100” isn’t flash and doesn’t draw a picture of you, but it does ask you a lot more questions. And it added three years to my expected life span, as I clocked in at the big 89 on that one.

I don’t know… I don’t think they are taking into account advances in medicine over the next 40 or so years and that I am going to be a nanoswarm as soon as Kurzweil’s singularity happens in a couple years. Even so, you know I love a quiz.
