LONDON - A study has determined that men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer are nearly twenty-five times as likely to die from the disease as men who are prostate-cancer free. This conclusion was reached after a team of researchers had carefully recorded the causes of death of more than 300,000 men.

Hilarious. Of course, after reading the New York Times, this kind of journalism may not be that outlandish.

DUUUUHHHH!

In other news, people with death certificates issued are most likely dead.

In other words.. Study finds it's damned hard to die from what you don't have...

[Sue Perkick]

Sounds like money well spent.

Its like I tell all of the young health and exercise nuts I work with - they are going to feel pretty stupid in 50 years laying there in bed dying of nothing...

"Off the top of my head," he observed, "those findings may indicate a particularly virulent form of the disease, or they might be the result of a statistical anomaly or the research team's unfamiliarity with the new Windows Vista operating system.

This, of course, is from the office of redundant redundancies.

OMG!

Pugbus is a comedy site - which isn't to say that I haven't seen real headlines and studies that were nearly as silly.

Hey guys, just remember: if you don’t use it, you lose it. The incidence of prostate cancer in celibate priests is 30 times higher than the average heterosexual male.

This sounds series.

And men who do not get Prostrate cancer do not die from Prostrate Cancer.

I wonder how much government money I can get for finding out if females react the same way to not having Prostrate cancer? :-)

Seems everyone missed (or ignored) the last paragraph in the story...

In related news, a new study linking prostate cancer to multivitamin consumption has been criticized for failing to differentiate between men who take multivitamins orally and those who take them rectally.

Looks like satire to me on the current state of journalism in the world today.

Wow, the article writer needs the “Master of the Obvious” graphic at the least.

Officials: cause of death still unknown in decapitation crime.
