Things That Come In Three's

Y


Do all things good or bad come in three's?

This has been the debate for some time.  If things don't come in three's then why are they always pairing things in groups of 3?  For example:



3 Goals in a Hat Trick (hockey)
3 Little Pigs
3 Bears in Goldilocks
3 Sheets to the Wind
3 Times a Lady
3 Minute Egg
3 Piece Suit

So huh...

No one really knows if it's phenomena or superstition.  It could just be the reticular - activator process.  This is the process in your brain that replaces the last incident that we can recall or remember.  It is sually the last 3 incidents that trigger it.

Thus the groups of three.


In the latest celebrity deaths I have tried to see if there is a connection or pattern.  The first recent death is:


Bob Banner


Banner is an Emmy winning American producer, write and director.  He was most know for being a co=producer on The Carol Burnett Show.


Now, I saw that show as a child.  I don't really know much about him.  But he was in comedy, so how bad could he have been.  If I knew about him earlier maybe he would have been in my show.






I think Bob would have appreciated my sense of humor, along with the sex that entailed.


Not even three days later, Clarence Clemens died.




Aka "The Big Man".  He was a musician and actor.  He was most famously known for his work from 1972 until his death as a prominent member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.  He wailed on the tenor saxophone.


Not to be confused with this type of wailing....






Okay not exactly the same thing... but pretty close.


Back to the 3's.


Then 2 days later, Ryan Dunn of Jackass.  He was the one known for sticking a car up his ass.




Not at all like this:


Yep, that's a cock in the ass.

In all seriousness may they all rest in peace.

But I wonder Is it coincidence that his last movie was Number 3?  And in 3D?

I think the truth of the matter is we count in three's.  I guess the way I see it, we see 1 celebrity die and then we just expect 2 more.  When that series is complete we start over at one.  It's not rocket science.

Whether you believe it to be a mysterious phenomena or just superstition that is up to you.

And is it coincidence that it's Wednesday?  Aka "Hump Day" and the 3rd day of the week.

You decide.

Enjoy the day!
