And not just brain dead either.

From newbrowne I spotted that the BBC had a life expectancy test quiz on their site complete with Body Mass Index calculator.

So just for the hell of it off I went and did the quiz. Worked out my BMI ( a topic for another day) and filled out the form. 89.8 years of age.

Fantastic.

Then a bit of guilt crept in and I went back and redid the quiz answering all the dubious questions as honestly as possible, including the chips, stress and exercise ones.

Your life expectancy is -1 years

Umm.

Maybe their was something cached from the last attempt. Cleared the cache and tried again.

Your life expectancy is -1 years

Hmmm
So went back and unticked the Stress question.

Your life expectancy is 1.4 years

Not looking good this.

After much messing around with the quiz I have “discovered” that if I quit smoking, exercise more, eat healthily while loosing weight and managing stress levels my life expectancy will increase. Sounds sort of familiar alright but can't put my finger on it.
