History tells us that A medieval astrologer prophesied to a king that his favourite mistress would soon die.

Sure enough, the woman died a short time later. The king was outraged at the astrologer, certain that his prophecy had brought about the woman's death. He summoned the astrologer and gave him this command: "Prophet, tell me when you will die!"

The astrologer realised that the king was planning to kill him, immediately, no matter what answer he gave. So he said, finally, "I do not know when I will die. I only know that whenever I die, you will die the very next day."

this remind me of a old phase the my cabin and I made up in camp one summer.

" you will die of thousand deaths, unless I get my hands around your neck! "
