No. Visiting a doctor is: 9 out of 10 persons saw a doctor
within 5 minutes before dying. ;-)

100% of those who didn't even know a transit was happening are also
dead!


No. 10 years ago, I didn't know a transit was happening, and
I'm still alive (there's a good explanation for my not knowing
that a transit was happening: it wasn't happening)

And everyone who watches the coming transit *will* die!

Does this mean the average human life-span is primarily regulated by
Venus transits?
Can I go back to eating junk food?

Eating junk food? Absolutely! I have a friend who ate
a Snickers (!!!) and he is still alive.

Well, I'm still intending to try to catch a glimpse of the last few
minutes of the transit anyway. Like Woody Allen, I'm not afraid of
dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

I ran across the extremely alarming statistic related to the transit
of Venus. Since I deal with statistics daily, and charts don't lie,
I felt it was imperative that I share this scientific fact with you.
You can then decide if you wish to risk viewing the Venus transit on
June 8th. So here it is:

100% of those who viewed the last transit of Venus are dead.

Now, all the research is not in yet as to the attribute that caused
this overwhelming statistic, and the attributes need to be more
extensively studied for assignable cause, but I felt everyone should
be forewarned.

"Choose wisely"

It was not the viewing of the transit that caused the death of those
people. It was their refusal to accept the fact that the ancients knew
about the sidereal orbits of planets. Just as all of us today who do
not follow the teachings of the Right Reverend Rabbi Doctor Min will
one day find ourselves dead.

2 hours of morphine drip takes care of that.
