I haven't visit it, but from what I understood it, they try to predict what year you will die.
This they take from several question about your lifstyle, work and bad habits.
Must just be taken as another fun experiment.

Does your browser have an address bar, for goodness sake?!  Find out for yourself!
Unless of course, you are freaking at the website's name and fear it will kill you?  If so, how dare you send others to go for you, to let them die in your place!!!!!

Yes, I ahave visited this site , http://www.deathclock.com/. I know this site from last 6 years, it calculates the Age of Death by using Details of a person and approach towards life (Positive or Negative). The Age of death changes as per the selection of the points given in selection.

Just for Fun. No real reading.

Why have this site at all, you say it's only for fun, I see it as a sick joke.

Samson, did you visit the site?

This site is a small site on problems of obesity, addictions and other related health issues. The Deathclock is a marketing strategy. Yes it is a sick joke but other links are also there.

More importantly people visit the site to calculate the date of death but forget to see the criteria's used to calculate it and other material which is important. It gives an important message on obesity and addiction.

Sadly no one reads the other stuff !!!

Well samson, because they never realised it was a sick joke.

But more than that, it shows u a way, where u can improve ur lonitivity, but selecting the positive options (in real life) so u can live longer.

& Maetel of La Metalle, govarndhanvt didn't ask others to go to that site, he just didn't understand what the site was about, & was asking if anyone u had previously visited this site, knew what exactly this site was about.

I understand that and know what they were talking about, but putting in a link to calculate how long your going to live for wasn't necessary in my opinion.

It's these sort of sites that have people put guns to there head, because not everyone sees it as a joke, some do believe in it.

Has anyone ever heard of self-fulfilling prophecy?  The mind does not go to correction of the diet and/or other factors...it immeditately and strongly goes to....I AM GONG TO DIE!  Yes, intention may have been there...but the premise is flawed.  The human mind is not conducive to this kind of information.

i dont think anyone is going to kill themselves or panic just coz some site says when ur going to die. that too based on just 2 questions. people with terminal disease fight for their life even after doctors give up.

human beings urge to live is far more than what v can imagine.
