Probably not that long.


If you live in the U.S. the World Bank says you’ll live to be 78.4 (on average), but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the average life expectancy for Americans is 77.9 years. But apparently your best shot for living a longer life is to be from another country. The U.S. ranks #49 ... on the CIA’s World Factbook’s list of life expectancy by country. Macau wins the long-life race with a life expectancy of 84.36 years. Followed by Andorra (82.51 years), Japan (82.12 years) and Singapore (81.98 years).



Still, when it comes to your own personal life expectancy there are several life expectancy calculators online. From MSN’s Money Central to The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, many websites try to calculate how long you will live by taking into account factors such as your personality, health history, family background, diet and lifestyle. One such model, aptly titled Living to 100, is from Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at the Boston University Medical School. Perls used his study of some 900 centenarians, people who have lived to 100 years (and beyond), to influence his calculator’s predictions.

(Oh, screw it. Yeah, he died.)

Thank you for asking. The Meaning of Life is a 1983 film by the Monty Python comedy troupe, generally considered one of the finest comedies of all-time. I mean, it’s really funny. Like, seriously graphic bust-a-gut hilarious. And it talks about just, all sorts of funny stuff – like, the meaning of everything and other stuff ... of that nature.

Is it money? Well a recent study says that mo’ money, doesn’t necessarily bring mo’ happiness. Another study says that the Internet can make you happy. Then there are those who say that happiness is relative. So I guess the secret is: No one knows what the heck they’re talking about.

So don’t worry. Be happy.
