How about a Venus/Mercury transit during a solar eclipse? Now that's got to be rare.

Rare?? That would be very sad! The stupid Moon would make
us miss the rarest, once-in-a-lifetime event that is Venus

Because I tell you -- if that ever happens, Murphy will be
there to guarantee that the eclipse will last at least 8
hours! ;-)
