They go in threes

Has anyone else noticed that celebrities seem die in groups of three? There appears to be a trend that there will be a group of celebrity deaths within a week or so of each other. Of course, I can not bring up any corroborating data to support this statement, but it is my general feeling.

Having stated this, I am fully aware that Australia has had 4 celebrity deaths in recent weeks:
1) Don Chip
2) Colin Thiele
3) Steve Irwin
and now...
4) Peter Brock

Now, as far as I can predict, my feelings about celebrities going in threes is about to be shot down, or we are due for another two famous deaths within the next week or so. These will not necessarily need to be Australian to qualify.

We will have to wait and see.

Not Colin Thiele as well :-( That is a bugger, I loved Storm Boy.

Maybe I should start a book, to see who goes first.

Taking bids in $5 dollar increments.

So, Mikey, put you in for $5 each on Howard and Abbot?

Yeah, but of them (a politician, a writer, a celebrity, and a sportsman)only two got offered a state funeral. Says a lot about the times we live in when sports and celebrity are so highly valued.

Good point.

I'm glad Irwin's family turned down the state funeral. Good on 'em.
