Hey,

I came across this interesting page:
http://www.danzen.com/grimreaper/

It asks a series of odd questions and then guesses your age.  For me, it
guessed 35.  Pretty close, as I am 37.

Supposedly, the answers people give serve to furthur refine the accuracy of
future guesses.

to divulge your address.  :-)
