When your number’s up
This one will cheer you up.
We’ve all pondered death at some point in our lives, and wondered what age we may live to. Well, no more uncertaintitiy and guessing when you might die, jut go to Deathclock.com, and type in the following details:
Day of Birth:
Sex:
Mode: Normal, Pessimistic, Sadistic, Optimistic
BMI:
Smoker/Non-Smoker
Based solely on this sparse information the deathclock calculates down to the second when you will die.
According to deathclock I have 359, 441, 261 seconds left to live (20 seconds ago). I will croak it on Monday, September 10, 2018.
The site also has a “wills” page, an a “obituaries” page, and other darling rays of sunshine to brighten up your day.
I particularly enjoyed reading the emails that people send in.
I visited your “death clock’ Site on the net and I think you are sick. Why would you have such a morbid thing on your page. no one knows when someone else is going to die and if you did then why dont you save them.
Yes, come on, Mr Webmaster prophet, save us all from death!
This type of message seems to be the general tone of those who write in, leaving the webmaster to leave this response before the comments form:
Before sending any complaints, please realize that, yes, I do know that the Death Clock isn’t realistic. I don’t care. I also don’t care that some of the celebrities on the Obituaries are already dead. I know that too. What I do like to read are thoughtful, insightful comments. Feel free to tell me I suck, but if you don’t do it in a semi-intelligent manner, I’ll just trash your email.
The Heading title - Death Clock: The Internet’s friendly reminder that life is slipping away… - makes you think that it has to be a prank site, but the webmaster comes across as being far too sensitive and serious to have that much of a sense of humour.
Deathclock.com, try it today… while you’ve still got time.
