Yeah,... so a Celebrity Trifecta ?

So what's the time frame that's allowed before the next
set of celeb's start to tank out on us ?

And what's that #3 thing ?

Isn't that an alien sign or something ?
(since we're dealing with celebs) (not that I'd put Walsh in that category)
.

What are you talking about? What #3 thing?

And you wouldn't put Walsh on a list of celebrities?

Please clarify all of that...

I think he's referring to the widely-held idiotic belief that "these thing happen in threes."

Which is, of course, stupid, as WBOB points out by asking, "So what's the time frame that's allowed before the next set of celeb's start to tank out on us?"

Also, what are "these things?" The deaths of celebrities? (Which don't mean anything more than the deaths of the other 149,999 people who perished on planet earth that day.)

I actually know a woman who believes "these things" happen "in threes" when "the moon is full." She hadn't heard about Walsh (or doesn't, like many people, know who he is)... so she made her three with a Dallas newscaster who died.

I wasn't referring to them happening in 3's per se...I was just poiting out a notable tri-fecta...had there been 4 and in a specific order of significance I would have called it the 'super-fecta' ;)

Wait a minute. 150,000 people die every day!

I watch Fox News and they only report a handful of these so called deaths. I think your full of sh*t!

I heard the statistic that people have only a 50% chance of dying. This is based on the fact that, of all the people ever born, half are alive today.
