How Long Will I Live?

World News:" If you don't want to know when you'll die, DON'T read this story. The lifeline on the palm of your hand really does tell how long you'll live, says a new government study. All you have to do is measure it with a ruler and then perform simple arithmetic that will reveal the precise age at which you will die with a margin of error so small that researchers call it statistically insignificant, says Dr. Franklin Howell, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Md. What we have found is that the lifeline is, in fact, an extraordinarily precise measuring stick that accurately predicts the number of years a person will live. It's amazingly accurate. We never expected it. Howell and his team measured the lifelines and then tracked the lives of 200 men and women ages 67 to 92 in the study that began in 1992 and didn't end until last June. During that period, 176 of the participants died from a variety of illnesses and accidents, including cancer, heart disease, strokes, and, in two cases, attacks by a burglar and, oddly enough, a rabid squirrel. Computer modeling indicated a distinct relationship between the length of their lifeline and their age at death that, Howell says, proved to be accurate with a margin of error of just one year. But you don't need a computer to figure out how long you're going to live. According to Howell, any adult armed with paper and pencil can do the math and find out the age at which he or she will die. Here's how: Measure the lifeline on your dominant hand left if you're left-handed, right if you're right-handed and then convert its length to eighths of inches. For example, if your line is 4 inches long, its length in eighths of inches will be 4 x 8 = 32. If your line is 43/8 inches, its length in eighths of inches will be 4 x 8 = 32 + 3 = 35. This is your "Lifeline Number." Tip: Because your lifeline is curved, for pinpoint accuracy, lay a string over it, and then stretch the string out on a table and measure it with a ruler. Multiply your Lifeline Number by 2. If your Lifeline Number is 32, the math looks like this: 32 x 2 = 64. The product 64 is your "Lifeline Root Number." If you are a woman, add 14 to your Lifeline Root Number. If you are a man, add 10 to your Lifeline Root Number. If your Lifeline Root Number is 64, the math looks like this: 64 + 14 = 78 for a woman; 64 + 10 = 74 for a man. Give or take one year, this is the age at which you will die barring a freak accident. Once you know how long you're going to live, you can plan accordingly, says Howell....Well I did this and it says I will live to be at least 80-years old before I die, so that means I have only 30 -years left to do all the things I want to do. Like find that perfect man for me in every dept.(lol) And make my kids learn how to give me money instead of me always handing out the $$ to them!!"
