FRIENDS, today we are going to ex­plore a web­site that is crea­ting hype in social media these days, it is a fascinating yet factual site that offers facts and statistics about your lifetime it is — “You are getting old.”

Once you open the website all you have to do is to enter the date and year of your birth and you are welcomed with interesting facts and statistics about your lifespan.

It begins simply by telling about your zodiac sign, your birth stones and gradually, it starts telling you something more than you expected from a website. It shows about the approximate times your heart has beaten up till now and also how many times have you breathed.

You will be amazed to see how many times the moon has orbited the earth during your lifespan and also the distance you have travelled around the centre of the earth as it rotates, the distance you have travelled as earth revolves around the sun, and the distance you have travelled as the sun revolves around the centre of the galaxy this goes on which is quite baffling! Note, the distance varies according to your location.

What is more interesting is that it tells about the major world events that took place during your infancy, childhood, teenage and at age 20 or above (depends on your age).

Another interesting feature in the website is the pie chart that shows how many people who share your birth date are still alive or are dead.
