Fuck yes.

I want to ensure that by the time I die I don't have any money left over I could have spent

Not the actual day. More like a general range. Give me a year or so on either side of it and I could deal with that. Then I know how to at least plan things for my family. Wouldn't want to know the *actual* date as that would just lead to obsessing about it. A general range and I'd be more comfortable.

Definitely. I'd also want to know where, why, and how in addition to the when. I would probably obsess about it like vi said, but I'd still want to know.

If you had that information, could you then rebel against nature and take your own life before your natural death took place?

Sounds like a paradox to me. If I knew I was gonna get hit by a truck tomorrow at 6:15PM crossing the street, so I decided to stay inside all day, would the universe implode? Or would I then be in a Final Destination movie? These are the questions that keep me awake at night....... :confused:

Your universe would implode.

We would watch the display and give you a golf clap.

That's what I love about this place, the camraderie. Anywhere else, if they see a guy's universe imploding or world falling apart, everybody just goes about their own business like nothing's happening, but here you get recognized for your achievements! God bless you guys!!

Definitely. My guesses have been terrible up to this point, so it would be nice to just have a definitive date.

What if you knew the date of death of someone who hasn't been born yet? Would you tell their parents? Would the parents be sad about the kid dying if they don't even exist yet?
