a makeover story
I saw this the other day and thought I'd share it with you.
A forensic artist has done a time progression of what Michael Jackson would look like today if he hadn't of had all that plastic surgery....
He also has some other interesting age progression tricks up his sleeve. I'm rather fond of the charles manson looking david letterman....

Reply to your post in my journal:
A good question... one which I was unable to google to within my two minute attention span.
I frankly forget... I believe it is a Nothern European one. There is a hellishly complex equation for deciding such a thing, and, as with any statistical formula, any statistician that didn't create it will dispute it.
I do recall that it considered and weighted factors including national longevity, infant mortality, acost/ benefits analysis considering overall cost to end users weighted by individual earning vs. average tax rate and about 19 other things.
As I also recall, the US didn't make the top... 8?

I spent a fair bit of time on that site, also. Some beautiful illustrations. I particularly liked "Life Under a Mushroom".
