middle ages poll: do you think you would have made it to your current age if you lived in Robin Hood's time?

Posted by sherlock homie (aka chris) May 11 '10, 19:52

me: nope. probably would have died in infancy (pyloric stenosis). if not that, bad eyes would have made it tough to survive

No way. The 'betes would have been the end of me at age 5. -- nm - kelly May 11, 20:11
Close, but would probably be dead by now -- nm - amoxy May 11, 20:07
Hell yes, I would have. -- nm - Jim May 11, 20:06
would have kicked it at 13 without the invention of Ventolin. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:58 1

ruptured appendix at 18 would have sealed my fate -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 19:57 1

most of us probably wouldn't have. except me. -- nm - mafic May 11, 19:56

I want to say I'd be dead, but I think I'd probably be elderly and indestructible, much to the dismay of my children. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:53 2
- although, the way I catch every virus that goes around, I probably would have died of some childhood disease. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:55 1
  - red hair? bi-polar? you'd be burned as a witch -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 23:43
Probably not -- nm - Roger More May 11, 19:53
We just had this poll, didn't we? I wouldn't have. My mother is pretty sure I stopped breathing on the way to the hospital when I had pneumonia. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:53 7

    - Probably about 3/4 Norwegian and 1/4 German. -- nm - mara May 11, 20:05
  - Okay, fine. I also had a birth defect that required intestinal surgery around age 3. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:55 3
    - history needs you to pass your rock stacking genes down! -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:56 2
      - I thought this was medieval England, not ancient Egypt. -- nm - nubby May 11, 19:57 1
        
        hello! castles. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:59
hell no. -- nm - Andie May 11, 19:53 2
- i may not have survived birth actually. -- nm - Andie May 11, 19:53 1
  - Ditto. And my genetics would have conspired against me my whole life. - Beryllium May 11, 20:03
