Momento Mori

The Death Clock site bills itself as "The Internet's friendly reminder that life is slipping away." The site gives you a place to fill in your height, weight, sex, and body mass index, and then calculates how much longer you have to live (barring the unexpected). According to this site, my day of death is Saturday, 27 February, 2038, at which time I'd be 77. This site is a little more popular than I would have guessed, given the morbid nature of the subject. You can buy Death Clock T-shirts or download a Death clock screensaver. There is also a list of death-related quotations; here's one by Jean Cocteau: "Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying."
