Here's one of my favorite short stories to tell. It's been a few years now, so don't ask for the site because I don't remember, but I took an online questionnaire that was supposed to tell me how long I had to live. What the hell, I thought.
I sat and went through this whole quiz, well more than a dozen or so questions, and detailed. I got done and it said 56. What, I thought? Certainly I'm healthier than this. I called my wife in and showed her. It's just spitting out a random number, she said. So I had her do it. It came out with 93 or 94, I don't remember exactly.
How can this be? Do it again, she said, so I did. I went through each question all over again and answered honestly and completely. 56. Again.
So that's it. I have 6 more years to live. It's on the internet so it must be true, right?
