What are your chances of dying within four years?

Depends if a democrat is in the White House.

Bad title--EVERYONE has a 100% chance of dying.

It's the knowing WHEN that's tricky. ;-)

I ain't buying this!
Last time I took a similar test the results was I'd been dead 6 years.
That was 4 years ago.

Nope. Ain't going there!

As much as I despise Woody Allen, he had it right when he said: "I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

Does it count if your hobbies are skydiving, extreme skiing and photographing skarks?

If a Dem is president, everyones' risk of an apoplectic fit increases astronomically.

Does the test have questions like "Do you draw cartoons of Mohammed while riding in Ted Kennedy's car to a hunting trip with Dick Cheney?"

I cannot believe that this test predicts anything meaningful. It basically makes the point that if you suffer from a chronic, probably fatal illness you will die in the next 4 years. The survey has a large "duh" quotient.

My concern is that the guys who cam up with this test are working with our Vets.
