People say if they poke you you die 5 seconds earlier. i need to know if this is true because people poke me all the time.

Don't believe everything you hear. That's what scientific studies are for.
By the way, if you cross your eyes, they won't ever get stuck that way.

Well, I'm not saying that it does, but what if poking other people gave you an additional five seconds to your life? Really, it's the same logic, so poke away...

Are you taking about "poke" as in a finger poking at you or are you referring to the more vulgar description of sex?
And no, neither will take five seconds off your life.
But worrying about such trivial things WILL take moments off your life.

2 words...NOT TRUE. Why would poking someone take time off your life span? When it's your time, it's your time. Personally, I hate being fricken poked and who ever does it will get kicked back. lol.

No way. If someone pokes you... you feel it. You can't determine how you'll die from something like that.

It depends on how long it takes and how long it is. Hey, just poking fun at you. You're not serious are you?

you must spend a lot of time on your back, why not charge people for a poke? but then again prostitution is still illegal

I see no controlled tests that suggest that. Just because a lot of people say, doesnt make it true. If their only reasoning is, "everyone knows it is", that is not sufficient.

Do you mean "poke" as in...having sex? Are you practicing safe poking?
