Do It Yourself Open Heart Surgery

My friend Jessie Newburn found this on the web and forwarded the link to me on to. It is a simulation of open heart surgery and this time you are the surgeon! Sound like fun?

It didn’t to me either but I still gave it a shot. I didn’t get very far before the message “ALERT, surgery was unsuccessful better call your lawyer…Your ineptitude has ended the patient's life…”

This nifty little simulation was found on A Hearty Life.

Longevity Game

I got this from a link I found on ScienceRoll. It is called the Longevity Game and it aims to predict how long you are likely to live.

The test covers all those things we intrinsically know have an adverse effect on our health like weight and drinking yet some of us still occasionally overdo anyway.

I do have a problem with the drinking question. I don’t feel I was offered an option that reflects my drinking profile.

Northwestern Mutual Financial Network created the game because they “…know a thing or two about longevity because we’ve been tracking statistics that impact life since 1857. And that wealth of knowledge helped us shape the Longevity Game.”

Well put.

According to the game I’ll live until I’m 78. How much time is left in your game?
