- chas46, on 11/20/2008, -3/+27 I can't wait until they find the DNA death marker.
- sonic11, on 11/20/2008, -0/+40that would be impossible as your DNA does not instruct you specifically to attempt that skateboarding under a moving 18 wheeler trick.
- nmnnotmyname, on 11/21/2008, -6/+4Brain death marker.
Wait that's already known, it's an IQ test.
- nmnnotmyname, on 11/21/2008, -6/+4Brain death marker.
- thcobbs, on 11/21/2008, -4/+3We already know about that marker... its called "DNA".
- rmeddy, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2No, Genes don't determine breathing in nasty pollution and eating ***** food.

- JustinBobby08, on 11/20/2008, -16/+4What in the F is all this nonsense - you have lived for 25 years - you are 25 years old!!!
- Snoods, on 11/20/2008, -3/+10If you eat *****, smoke and don't exercise, then you may have the health of a 35 year old.
- specialK16, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Oh Oh.....
- Briandrews15, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8...then your a 25 year old with bad health... not a 35 year old
- Macintoshreader, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2"If you eat *****"
Who would do something so gross? - EvilCan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2You've never seen 2 girls 1 cup?
- a3r0, on 11/21/2008, -3/+2Ladies and gentlemen, you have witnessed history tonight. Digg commenter "JustinBobby08", with his PhD in biology, has just shown us all what fools we are for bothering with all these millions of dollars in funding and years of research into genetics. Truly remarkable.
- Briandrews15, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1ladies and gentlemen, you are a moron. ***** remarkable sarcasm
- DestroyingAngel, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2What JustinBobby08 says is that years is a measure of time, not a measure of health.
- Snoods, on 11/20/2008, -3/+10If you eat *****, smoke and don't exercise, then you may have the health of a 35 year old.
- AmyVernon, on 11/20/2008, -16/+9I have the secret way to find out the truth, too: Look up the person's birth certificate.
- iamamaniac, on 11/20/2008, -8/+1In a real sense this was the first great piece of universal science.
- Briandrews15, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1in a real sense, this is worthless *****.
- jpinsk, on 11/20/2008, -0/+28Personally, I find Brain Age on the DS to be the best way to calculate it
- crushfan, on 11/21/2008, -1/+6IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPUTE LOL.
- damack, on 11/20/2008, -0/+11This is interesting if they start working out our biological ages and some of us age a lot slower than others I wonder if one day biological age will be as prevailent in documents as chronological age.
- RedViper1999, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Well I look like I'm in high school and I'm 24. It sucks I get carded for everything, movies, games, and obviously alcohol.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Just take it as a compliment.
- RedViper1999, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Well I look like I'm in high school and I'm 24. It sucks I get carded for everything, movies, games, and obviously alcohol.
- Cawzality, on 11/20/2008, -8/+1If only they could calculate the ... (insert funny here)
- PCDestroyer, on 11/21/2008, -4/+1...length of my e-peen
- Autodidaddict, on 11/21/2008, -3/+0bust out the electron microscope
yea - i just got 6th grade science class insult on your ass
you like it, bitch, don't you? - nyx210, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Why bother?
- EvilCan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Just look at your gamerscore.
- Autodidaddict, on 11/21/2008, -3/+0bust out the electron microscope
- murrdpirate, on 11/21/2008, -4/+0...funniest thing that they could calculate
- PCDestroyer, on 11/21/2008, -4/+1...length of my e-peen
- maus56, on 11/21/2008, -2/+18Nice to have for the next Olympics.
- johnboycanada, on 11/21/2008, -4/+1Chinese gymnasts don't stand a chance.
- DukeMojo, on 11/21/2008, -2/+1If I recall, this has been around for awhile. I think I even remember Michio Kaku hosting a Science Channel show about time, and him being read his own "real age".
Although, I should probably RTFA. - Autodidaddict, on 11/21/2008, -2/+2Since when was dog years / 7 not legit anymore???
- sourceholder, on 11/21/2008, -11/+4if(person.smoker == true)
{
person.age += 15;
} - cam0man, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2huh? they already have bone age testing they do to determine your 'real age'. where someone who's 25 may have a real age of 20 if they're a late bloomer or an age of 30 if they had an early onset of adolescence.
- Trollbane, on 11/21/2008, -0/+31Easy. You cut of their limbs and count the rings
- TinababyK, on 11/21/2008, -6/+2Very Funny...That is possible in case of trees only?
- nmnnotmyname, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2I tried that, Apparently they won't be aging anymore due to excessive blood loss.
- TheBadAndy, on 11/21/2008, -2/+2Personally, when I want to know my real age, I find out when I was born and then add up how many years have passed since that day.
- vivisimonvi, on 11/21/2008, -2/+7I plan to live forever!!
So far, so good. - ousthouse, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I thought adblock kept these links from showing up in my browser....
- davidg11, on 11/21/2008, -2/+4Cool.
Now I can finally find out if my excessive drinking is making biologically younger since I act 21, or biologically older as my liver decay accelerates.
Or do they cancel out? - ACalcutt, on 11/21/2008, -1/+4I'll have to invent something new in the next ten minutes. Perhaps some sort of death clock....
- cukkojugar, on 11/21/2008, -5/+0
- ophello, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1This link is a failure.
- jazino, on 11/21/2008, -1/+0Ask?
- ddissent, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9I've been alive as long as I can remember
- mal1964, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Fake ID businesses have just checked the DNR box
- ophello, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Does anyone else agree that the Telegraph has the most dumbed down, idiotically misleading titles ever?
Seriously. Notice that the quotation marks are missing from the actual headline:
"Scientists find way to calculate people's real age"
Which makes it sound like scientists are complete idiots for not just asking the person how old they are. I ***** hate the Telegraph.- Paulorific, on 11/21/2008, -2/+1Lot's of people lie or don't know their actual age. Also, this is obviously not meant for identification purposes. It's like saying "you look good for your age" but with facts. A person may have lived for 40 years but their biological systems may be healthier or less healthy than that.
- sonofashoe, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3"Non-subjectively"? Is that science-speak for "objectively"?
- mikeoncampus, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1so they can prove all the actresses on sex and the city are really 80?
- JimMcFartyPants, on 11/21/2008, -1/+1I guess this beats cutting off a leg and counting the number of rings.
- tr909, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0That was funny. The first time we read it above.
- rmeddy, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I call *****,they have to take into account a lot of things that has nothing to do with DNA.
What about Obese children that has the arteries of 45 yr olds?- xptoast, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Doesn't affect genetic makup dude. Just means you have a fat kid.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Again with pseudo scientific attacks on obese children. Give it a rest.
- WoodenKimono, on 11/21/2008, -3/+1So long Chinese Olympic Gold!
- writer0213, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I thought you usually just find out by when your birthday is? Geez I'm behind the times.
- h4sh1sh, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0so this would explain why some people my age act like they are 5 sometimes....
- oRocketSurgeryo, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2I already know my age. The wii fit told me.
;) - johnboycanada, on 11/21/2008, -4/+1Chinese gymnasts don't stand a chance.
- copypastry, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I just use the Wii Fit Age.
- Xanth, on 11/21/2008, -2/+2Hey, now we can test those Chinese gymnasts! 16 my butt.
- MickJT, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I'm pretty sure that if I was born 24 years ago, then my physical age is 24 years. Can't go against logic.
All this research can do is compare it to something else. My true physical age is however long i've lived for, obviously. - kaosethema, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1i've got to be at least a hundred.
- JuanPeron, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1"...tiny worms which behave similarly to humans..."
I think I know their meaning, but I can't help imagining awesome tiny worm societies. - ASSASSYN360, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I am 30 years old...my physical age is 30 years old...is that good?
