Great forum

This is my first post here.
Yeah, off-topic but has anyone heard about this?

<Removed spam link.>

Seems out there, but who knows?
So did space exploration 100 years ago, and biotech is hot now.

Could it be real?

Whistled.

Could I be the first one for a change?

I'd be surprised to find out how accurate this is. I put in all my information and it came out to say i'd be 94. It just doesn't seem to take all possible scenarios into consideration..

Welcome Re-mark--but spamming is frowned on, especially in 1st posts. [No No]

I'd question the accuracy of a longevity website run by Fintan Dunne, just based on googling his name. Not only is he a 9/11 conspiratist, he also believes the recent tasering at UF was a "psyop":

Inputting my data, and enabling the things I think will be available by the end of my life, puts my lifespan at 156 years.

...I'm skeptical, to say the least.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

This is fairly obvious spam. Given that, I'd really recommend people refrain from clicking on the link in the original post.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

I didn't click, I copied the link and opened it in a blank tab to negate the "referred by" info getting to the server.

It may be spam and not likely to be accurate, but I still thought that it was fun.

88 years, and assuming those things will be around when I am alive then nearly 195 years. I wanna reach 200 though [Frown]

I think that if you make it to 195 JonHecht, you'll have enough will power to hold on for another 5 years.

Or you'll get hit by a bus. You never know.

Posted by steven (Member # 8099) on :

To still have auto accidents when JonHecht is 195 would be stupid.

How about, "shot down over Pluto by aliens"?

That's a less anachronistic way to die. Not that I hope Jon dies like that.
