Wolfram Alpha can give you live expectancy by gender and country. Go to http://wolframalpha.com and search for “life expectancy for COUNTRY GENDER”, eg “life expectancy for canadian male”.
I get 79.52.
I can then query “days in 79.52 years”: 29 025 days.
For extra points, query days since YOUR BIRTHDAY, and subract from the above result. I have probably 14 303 days left to live.
