  1. 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.

  2. Why Becoming Parents Makes People Better Employees – this is about mothers. No mention of fathers. Last time I checked, it takes two parents to make a child. Airbrushing fathers out of parenthood is an awful thing to do.
