August 8, 2037 at the ripe old age of 81. Both of my grandmothers lived in to their late 90's so I was counting on making it at least to 90.

Cause of death? 17% - electroylsis!! Maybe from taking care of my hairy nipples???

That's better than Clock#1 in sadistic mode (which had my death in 1993). In normal mode, it gave me until 2030.

I've been told I will be killed on July 15, 2007.

I think the best thing about knowing when you're going to die, is that you don't have to worry about anything 'til then. I can go do crazy things, have wild adventures, dive off of buildings, ya know, the fun stuff, and i don't have to worry, 'cause i know when i'm gonna die. :)

but, our dear friend George Burns
at the ripe old age of 100, said, "if I had known I was gonna live this long, I woulda took better care of myself"!!!
Why not put it into our neanderthal skulls that if we live in moderation with lots of excercise (hiking), we can enjoy those twilight years in relatively good health. Such as characters like Ansel Adams and Colin Fletcher.

The 200-Year-Old Alcoholic

Chorus:
Oooooooh...
It's never to late to start livin'
To get out and have some fun
The sun will just as shiny in the mornin'
As the first day the world begun.

When I was eighty I started smokin'
Took to drinking at eighty five
At ninety I started courtin'
Thanked God I was alive!
Ninety five saw me in business
Determined to rake in a pile
At a hundred I made my first million, ("whoopee!")
And I started livin' in style

(Chorus)

Well I moved to an uptown penthouse
Used fifties to light my cigars
Developed a taste for fine champagne
Drove fast I-talian cars...
But the doctor he give me a warnin'
And a lecture on right and wrong
If I didn't give up my sinful ways
I couldn't live very long
But I said to him...

(Chorus)

("It gets kinda sad from here on in")

Now I'm a two-hundred-year-old alcoholic
And the nicotine's caught up on me
But worst of all, in this mornin's mail
Got a suit for paternity
Now I'm not really unhappy
'Cause maybe I'll have me a son
And his mornings will be just as shiny
As the first day the world begun.

(BIG Chorus)

Liam: "Sing like you mean it"

(REALLY Big Chorus)




From an unknown friend of Liam Clancy from Boone, NC,
("with the EXplosive 'B'").

The TT death pool are the odds that one of our fellow TT'rs, or anyone famous, might meet an untimely death for whatever reasons. I'm using the Jimmy the Greek Method to calculate the odds. For example, because Stikmon is hiking alone in Colorado, he has an elevated risk, therefore, greater odds. Anybody who is married is at greater risk, or anybody that says bad stuff about me is at greater risk.
