...THEY COME IN THREES...

What about all the other thousands of people who have died in that same stretch of days?

[LaPlaceFF]

I think what sprites means is celebrities or famous people....

[Scorpion]

It's interesting how they all were around the same age too. Weird.

[SamSagnella]

Darren McGavin died a day or two ago, which would make this the fourth famous death.

Bad news comes in threes. That's what sprite was referring to and it definately seems to apply to celebrities that have passed on in years past as well.

[gtalum]

Bad news doesn't come in threes. That's a silly myth.

Aw man, another one passes on. I heard this on the news today as I was driving back from taking my daughter back to college. The radio host was saying things come in 3's too.

I loved McCloud and all of that network's crime type shows that were part of revolving schedule back then. McMillian & Wife was one, another was Culumbo.

RIP Mr. Weaver.
