    This doesn’t seem like a shower thought so much as something OP knew/trivia he heard about.

    Further proof that left handers are dirty soul suckers.

    Ha I had no idea Ringo is left handed. He plays a right handed kit. Interesting!

    Which is contrary to what I’ve heard; left handed people’s life expectancy is typically lower than that of right handed people. Mostly due to accidents involving right handed machinery from what I’ve read.

    That’s not right that they’re the only ones left

    Makes it sound like there are many members of the Beatles.

    More right handers are alive than left handers

    Huh, Pete Best was left-handed and played on a right-handed kit just like Ringo does. And he’s still alive, too.

    I looked into this and found that every member of the Beatles, even Pete Best, had both a right and a left hand.

    By that logic, if there had been an ambidextrous member, would he have a stroke and lose control of his right side by now?

    similarly, everyone in the beatles named john & george are dead. but the ones who go by paul & ringo are still alive

    Well, when there are only four members, I could easily come up with something similar. Let’s see…..

    …..I got it! Every member of the Beatles with a summer birthday is still living while every member of the Beatles with a not-summer birthday is dead.

    John – born 9 Oct. 1940

    Paul – born 18 Jun. 1942

    George – born 25 Feb. 1943

    Ringo – born 7 Jul. 1940

    (We’ll use the meteorological convention that “summer” runs from the beginning of June to the end of August, rather than the astronomical convention where June the 18th is still spring because the solstice is still a few days away.)

    And yet they claim left-handed people die earlier

    this feels like a new take on john being shot by a hamburger

    Lennon was born left handed and may have remained predominantly left handed despite social pressure. This is addressed in the bio “John Lennon: The Life” which includes photo evidence of him writing left handed.

    I think this is the first time ever that I’ve seen a post judged as an actual shower thought

    I know nothing about the Beatles but this is wild.

    In conclusion: Left-handed people are clearly immortal

  21. C64128 Avatar

    So the members left were themselves left (handed).

  22. itsHardToHaveAUsrena Avatar

    Funny, I heard that left-handed people usually die sooner.

    This only serves to further prove the point that all lefties are unholy mutant freaks that need to be wiped from the face of the earth.

    Looks like Paul and Ringo are the ultimate proof that lefties really do have an advantage! Maybe they should start a support group: ‘Left-Handed Legends’—meetings held in the afterlife!

  25. GeneralCommand4459 Avatar

    Makes sense, they’re the ones who are left…

  26. itsthepastaman Avatar

    if john was a lefty he could have deflected the bullet

  27. DobisPeeyar Avatar

    I mean it’s a roughly 1/6 chance, if we give them all the same mortality chances. Not too crazy.

  28. anirban_dev Avatar

    I didn’t know the replacement Paul was left handed!

  29. kurtkurtkurtkurt Avatar

    Thus proving that everyone who is right-handed will die.

  30. totally_not_astra Avatar

    This is undeniable proof that left handed people live longer

  31. CozyRvnMood Avatar

    Looks like the lefties in the Beatles really took ‘all you need is love’ to heart—while the righties are just taking a permanent break! Maybe it’s time for a new band: The Left-Handed Legends!”

    guess left handed Beatles are just built different.
