How long would you have lived in the middle ages? Ignore all the general risks - like typhoid or the plague or cholera - that everyone would have faced in general. LetÂ’s assume you were lucky and missed those. (Unless by some chance you actually DID face one of them in your life.) Also ignore the fact that your deadly injury might have been caused by modern technology, like an auto accident. Just pretend you were trampled by a horse or something. So, given the injuries and illness youÂ’ve faced in your life so far: Did you make it? Would you have survived to your current age?
Probably.
The only time I've been under the knife was for hernia surgery, and it wasn't a particularly bad one. Probably something I could've lived with, although I imagine eventually it would've strangulated and killed me.
Although I've benefitted from antibiotics, I'm pretty sure they've only shortened my suffering, not saved my life.
So I'm thinking I'd be alive, but looking like I was 70 instead of 40.

You Are Oscar the Grouch |
Grumpy and grouchy, you aren't just pessimistic. You revel in your pessimism. You are usually feeling: Unhappy. Unless it's rainy outside, and even then you know the foul weather won't last. You are famous for: Being mean yet loveable. And you hate the loveable part. How you life your life: As a slob. But it's not repelling as many people as you'd like! |

You Are 100% Capitalist, 0% Socialist |
You're a capitalist pig - and proud of it. You believe that business makes the world great... And you'd never be ashamed of being rich! |
