NOTE: Most of these topics are for offers where you GET PAID rather than PAY for things. The offer today is for something that people might want to pay for. For consistency with other results, please remember: If you'd be willing to GET PAID for something, vote with a POSITIVE amount. If you'd be willing to PAY for something, vote with a NEGATIVE amount.
RULES -Be specific when voting! Give me an actual dollar amount or explicitly say that you'd reject the offer. It helps me with tallying and calculating. -1 vote, no alts, blah blah, you have until whenever I put the next topic up to vote (at least 24 hours) -Give the minimum amount you want in US dollars and cents, "free," "no deal," and negative amounts are acceptable (which means you'll pay, instead of someone paying you). Google is good for currency conversion (search "1000 Euro to USD" without quotes, for example). -Read the stipulations every time for any rules/information that are for the particular topic. Only I can add/remove/change them later as needed. -You can nominate 3 things per day. You can write your own stipulations or have me take care of it. -Ask me (or the original nominator) about stipulations if you need more information.
Today's offer: You are given an option to find out the exact moment you'll die. You can not alter this fate, nor can you tell anyone about this information. Who wants to know when they will die?
STIPULATIONS FOR THE OFFER: 1. You will be told the exact moment of death, including the date and time accurate to one second. 2. You can not alter this fate. You will not know how you will die, or how long it takes to die 3. You cannot tell anyone about this information. You can do normal death preparation stuff (making a will, etc.), as long as you're not telling anyone about when you will die. 4. You will be physically unable to tell anyone about this because of a curse/magic/something even if you try. 5. Remember, vote with negative amount if you'd be willing to pay for this information, and positive if you'd need to be paid to get this information!

I'd be willing to pay everything I had for this information. That's not a lot, but if I had wealth, it'd be in the hundreds of millions.
Knowing when I'm going to die means nothing else can kill me up to that point. I'd be the bravest mother effer out there. Go join wars and be fearless, fight any man no matter the weapon, and swim the ocean...some crazy crap like that.
A number? We'll say: -$10,000,000

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum.
Within reason, I would pay whatever I could afford. On the assumption that the knowledge wouldn't reveal that I would die tomorrow, I'd want to keep *some* cash around. Let's say -$25,000.
I'd just be like "huh, neat". Since I couldn't change it, nothing would be any different, but the days leading up to it would be gut-wrenching. I don't know what I'd do at that point. At least before that, I'd know how to plan my life; what kind of higher education would be worth the trouble, when to plan on having kids, etc.

If I could plan for all of this stuff... just imagine, picking up life insurance just in time for it to kick in so your loved ones would be cared for. Having your funeral and burial properly arranged. The only downside is not being able to tell people so they could schedule their lives around my funeral, but even then, having everything taken care of would be great.
Would be interesting. Even if it says I can't change my fate, I sure as hell would love to try. I'll set it at $1 mil because I would make sure I was rich enough to afford my "experiments" after acquiring the information.

You would literally have to pay me a hefty fee for me to learn something I would spend the rest of my life fretting about.
Negative amounts imply that you would pay for it. Taking these votes as +$1,000,000 and +$100,000,000.

Hm, when you say "death" do you mean your heart stops, or information theoretic death? Because I would pay good money if it was the latter.

You're messing with me! You're messing with me, aren't you!? You're making fun of me, aren't you!? Aren't you!? You definitely are! I'll murder you!
Well, I guess I can use this information as an investment in life insurance and reuse that to try and prevent information theoretic death so.....
Without looking anything up, I'll probably pay like 20k (-$20k) given the information I have now about my likely chances of death in comparison to my expected return on cashing out a nice life insurance policy. This is probably really naive and not based on anything but it's a start!

Congrats to SuperNiceDog, your 2011 Guru Champion!
Has anyone thought about the implications of saying yes?
Now, lets say we have some limited pre-determination going on here, the choice to say "yes" and accept could trigger events that lock in our death time to some various #. I mean, knowing that death time could trigger some factor down the road that causes us to not care because we know our death time that in fact leads to the death.
Refuse on those grounds.
