Paging Agatha, Arthur and Dashiell

Death Calculator Predicts Your Odds of Kicking the Bucket, screams the livescience.com headline.

It looks to me like a couple of frat guys at Carnegie Mellon U got together to polish a keg while Minority Report was playing on the big screen at the same time. Too much Cruise, Spielberg, P.K. Dick, and Pabst Blue Ribbon later, they have a website that predicts your death (instead of your murder as in the movie).

I'd rather they have tried to build one of those sweet jet packs they had in the movie. Or at the very least that "Boba Fett hovercraft" the cops used to zip around.

Focus, college kids, FOCUS!
