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.

Well, what kind of time frame do you give for planes going in threes?

It's probably impossible to give any kind of rocksolid timeframe, but they seem to go down within a matter of a few weeks / a month at most of one another, and then there isn't another crash for half a year to a year, when all of a sudden three more go down within several weeks / a month.

Ofcourse, we probably never hear of the almost daily crashes from such airline beauties as Garuda and Air Katmandu.
