If you enter your birth date and gender at The Death Clock ( http://www.deathclock.com/ ), you will get your projected date of death. If you were born, say, on March 16, 1969, and are male, you will die on December 26, 2042, based on an average life span. That's less than 1.4 billion seconds away.

The Death Clock bills itself as "the Internet's friendly reminder that life is slipping away."
