R.I.P.: Buddy Hackett (registration required), one of the great stand-up comics (and fellow Brooklyn native). What's odd is that the Hallmark channel started showing a week-long Love Bug marathon this week, and MrsBlue and I just watched the first one last night. Of course so close to the passing of Katherine Hepburn, we are sure to hear some of that "they go in threes" stuff, but I don't imagine that that theory stands up to much scientific examination.

While I don't think that "famous people" go in threes (and who cares anyways), have you ever noticed that airplanes ALWAYS go in threes?

I heard someone mention it sometime during the late 80s (yes I really am that old), and started paying attention to it, and it's frightening, but it's true. Once a plane crashes, I don't get on until the next two have gone down, then I fly as soon as possible after that last crash.

I guess everyone needs to have a superstition about something.
