Australians are a morbid bunch

I especially liked filling out the greenhouse calculator to see how long I will live, with how I live now.

[Beerknurd]

It says I will die at 9.9... I guess the calculator missed that prediction by about 20 years...

Or did that mean 9.9 years from now???

[Ototero]

I'm gonna die at 2.1 :(

Gentleman you need to observe the little red numbered indicators that go up to # 11, you need to make a selection on each number then hit the skull & Crossbones. I fortunately will live forever according to the outcome of my test.

IN case you did fill in each one of those 11 Questions and answered each one with the low scores your getting. I suggest you change your lifestyle!

Good Luck with everyone else who views this curious find on the net. :blob3:

[Beerknurd]

I did every one of the numbers and it said 9.9 years... I don't get it...

[Nflight]

Well you have ten years till you die Beerknurd, I forgot one little ditty in my explanation. Try the slide on the last question, if you move it to the left too far and become negative numbers on the little pig in the center, your life is shortened drastically.

Good Luck

I"m all good! I'll live FOREVER! :icon_razz:

[Nflight]

Beerknurd it means you have to change your ways of living with recycling your waste streams into something useful. Be mindful of the world around you, don't just be a user. :icon_mrgreen:

It's funny that simply by making more money you have a worse score. Obviously there is a certain bias in the score weighting.

[liuqyn]

actually, it's not making the money but how you spend it. try maxing out the money on page ten, then adjust the slider on eleven and see the huge difference.

[Ototero]

The only that affexted my score was the earnings. I presume they are in Aussie dollars.

Here is a site that kinda relates :)

Age 2 for me. Nflight's seen my car. he knows. And they didn't even ask about my gas guzzling boat. I'd be dead before I was born with that added..

Oh well I guess I've been living on someone else's nickle for the last 41 years. Damn it sucks to be him!! lol

There is just so much wrong with that scenario:

1) I'll not believe all Aussies think this way, nor more than a small minority - so the premise that Aussies are morbid doesn't really hold water.

2) If we stopped eating meat the several species that we use for food would go extinct. Where are the liberals on that eh?

3) If you own a pet you are adding to the CO2 burden.

4) If you have a kid, or are even alive yourself you are adding to the CO2 burden.

5) If you own lots of land - it is consuming C02 (didn't account for that did they?)

It's amazing to me how some folks can get all reactive to a very little bit of information. Yes, we need to work and progress towards taking care of this earth as its present stuards, but do so in ways that make sense. This radical eco-wacky stuff just makes me think that Dr. Kavorkian nees to offer his services internationally for those who are too afraid to think and live.

I'm thinking that this site was designed by those same type of eco-terrorists that burn and destroy homes in California and Oregon. They don't realise that the insurance just goes up, the homes get re-built, and what was destroyed just goes in a landfill. Cop cars, fire trucks, insurance investigators and contractors all have to drive back to the scene and wast even more energy and resources to deal with their acts - exactly what they say they are against. Like I said; these folks are too afraid to think.
