It doesn't. I just wanted to use Yahoo BOSS to extract some simple semantic data.
Ok, cool. I assumed it was the case.
Shouldn't it be so that dead celebrities don't have an age? John Lennon shows up at 68 (which I believe to be correct) but that's assuming he was still alive, yes?
Yes, it is assuming he was alive :).
It gets the date of birth via Yahoo BOSS and computes the age accordingly, the date of death (if any) is not accounted for.

Site down?
Sorry, EveryDNS took the site down for a while - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=529445
Are you planning on publicizing it on gossip sites & making money from advertising? Or is this just a toy project?
Toy project.
I am having hard time seeing how "estimating an accurate age of a celebrity" could be worthy of a standalone service.
